We replaced it with another machine but the problem remains. So it is definitely not a hardware issue. The crashes are very random. The machine would run for weeks without any crash but then will crash 10-15 times in a day. ksymoops indicates that the crash always occurs at the same function (_free_pages) and instruction (lock decl 0x14(%ecx)). ksymoops output is attached. The machine has minimal software on it. It only runs: sshd, crond, klogd, mingetty, syslogd, apart from kernel daemons and init. It uses iptables for NAT. Info about the machine: Distribution: Red Hat 7.1 Kernel: 2.4.2-2smp The two PCs that were used: Dell Dimension L667r, and DigiLink. Processor: Pentium III Memory: 128MB Can anyone tell us what the problem is. Plese let me know if you need more information. Thank you. - vasu __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Send FREE video emails in Yahoo!

I will assume that the log matches the kernel and modules that are running right now and I'll use the default options above for symbol resolution. If the current kernel and/or modules do not match the log, you can get more accurate output by telling me the kernel version and where to find map, modules, ksyms etc. ksymoops -h explains the options.
