I greatfully appreciate your kind help. Thank you so much. :) Much love Leos. Brief Description: ============= 1. Today (Dec 4) at 14:43 (GMT+3) EIP was sent, several minutes later my terminal window (on the same machine) got "hanging". 2. Writting text was possible in the window but no prompt came, no reaction on ^C neither ^Z. 3. Mouse: Mouse cursor ok, but it was impossible to switch desktops or windows (in the active desktop) with a mouse-click (no reaction). 4. Otherwise the machine was working (Apache, cron), it also responded to ping from the LAN. 5. I restarted the machine (no fsck required) and since that time it runs ok. 6. Similar problem came yesterday, restart required manual fsck - what helped. 7. Before it was running for 9 months (24/7) when the PC was bought, without any error. Note: Internet access enabled through FW (yum-updatesd running). # uname -a Linux mocca 2.6.18-1.2798.fc6 #1 SMP Mon Oct 16 14:54:20 EDT 2006 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux messages: Dec  4 11:08:21 mocca ntpd[2316]: synchronized to 58.73.137.250, stratum 1 Dec  4 14:43:07 mocca kernel: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000040 Dec  4 14:43:07 mocca kernel:  printing eip: Dec  4 14:43:07 mocca kernel: c04d525c Dec  4 14:43:07 mocca kernel: *pde = 6ed37067 Dec  4 14:43:07 mocca kernel: Oops: 0000 [#1] Dec  4 14:43:07 mocca kernel: SMP Dec  4 14:43:07 mocca kernel: last sysfs file: /devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/scaling_setspeed Dec  4 14:43:07 mocca kernel: Modules linked in: autofs4 hidp rfcomm l2cap bluetooth sunrpc acpi_cpufreq freq_table dm_multipath video sbs i2c_ec button battery ac ipv6 parport_pc lp parport snd_hda_intel snd_hda_codec snd_seq_dummy snd_seq_oss snd_seq_midi_event snd_seq snd_seq_device snd_pcm_oss snd_mix er_oss snd_pcm floppy snd_timer sky2 ohci1394 ide_cd snd soundcore snd_page_alloc i2c_i801 i2c_core ieee1394 cdrom serio_raw pcspkr dm_snapshot dm_zero d m_mirror dm_mod ata_piix ahci libata sd_mod scsi_mod ext3 jbd ehci_hcd ohci_hcd uhci_hcd Dec  4 14:43:07 mocca kernel: CPU:    1 Dec  4 14:43:07 mocca kernel: EIP:    0060:[]    Not tainted VLI Dec  4 14:43:07 mocca kernel: EFLAGS: 00010246   (2.6.18-1.2798.fc6 #1) Dec  4 14:43:07 mocca kernel: EIP is at generic_make_request+0x26/0x2b3 Dec  4 14:43:07 mocca kernel: eax: 00000000   ebx: 00001000   ecx: 00000001   edx: f7f50000 Dec  4 14:43:07 mocca kernel: esi: 00000008   edi: 00000000   ebp: cb5e07c0   esp: f7f50ce4 Dec  4 14:43:07 mocca kernel: ds: 007b   es: 007b   ss: 0068 Dec  4 14:43:07 mocca kernel: Process pdflush (pid: 214, ti=f7f50000 task=f7f07440 task.ti=f7f50000) Dec  4 14:43:07 mocca kernel: Stack: c0679500 00011200 c0679500 f7f07440 c045391c 00000044 00000086 00000400 Dec  4 14:43:07 mocca kernel:        f7543be8 0fd00000 f7f07440 00000001 00000040 00000003 006b99d2 ad1dd135 Dec  4 14:43:07 mocca kernel:        00000095 c7b46000 00000095 c0467650 000000b9 00011200 f7fe0980 f7fe23c0 Dec  4 14:43:07 mocca kernel: Call Trace: Dec  4 14:43:07 mocca kernel:  [] submit_bio+0xd5/0xdd Dec  4 14:43:07 mocca kernel:  [] submit_bh+0xe5/0x103 Dec  4 14:43:07 mocca kernel:  [] __block_write_full_page+0x240/0x346 Dec  4 14:43:07 mocca kernel:  [] block_write_full_page+0xd9/0xe1 Dec  4 14:43:07 mocca kernel:  [] mpage_writepages+0x1b1/0x340 Dec  4 14:43:07 mocca kernel:  [] do_writepages+0x20/0x32 Dec  4 14:43:07 mocca kernel:  [] __writeback_single_inode+0x195/0x2dc Dec  4 14:43:07 mocca kernel:  [] sync_sb_inodes+0x17f/0x22a Dec  4 14:43:07 mocca kernel:  [] writeback_inodes+0x7b/0xc3 Dec  4 14:43:07 mocca kernel:  [] wb_kupdate+0x82/0xe5 Dec  4 14:43:07 mocca kernel:  [] pdflush+0x111/0x1aa Dec  4 14:43:07 mocca kernel:  [] kthread+0xc0/0xed Dec  4 14:43:07 mocca kernel:  [] kernel_thread_helper+0x7/0x10 Dec  4 14:43:07 mocca kernel: DWARF2 unwinder stuck at kernel_thread_helper+0x7/0x10 Dec  4 14:43:07 mocca kernel: Leftover inexact backtrace: Dec  4 14:43:07 mocca kernel:  ======================= Dec  4 14:43:07 mocca kernel: Code: e9 24 fb ff ff 55 ba d3 0b 00 00 57 89 c5 56 53 83 c4 80 8b 58 20 b8 4a 63 63 c0 e8 cb 55 f4 ff e8 ef 50 13 00 8b 45 0c 8b 40 04 <8b> 50 40 8b 40 3c 0f ac d0 09 c1 fa 09 89 d1 09 c1 0f 84 b3 00 Dec  4 14:43:07 mocca kernel: EIP: [] generic_make_request+0x26/0x2b3 SS:ESP 0068:f7f50ce4 Dec  4 15:02:38 mocca syslogd 1.4.1: restart.
