Re: Newby help. Tons and tons of Oops

[David Won <phlegm@home.com>]

I ran it for overnight without an error. I'm not sure if it is supposed to 
show an error on screen or not but it didn't. I also had my usual pile of 
Oops overnight as well. 116 of them. :(

I'm running 2.4.0test11pre3. but the kernel shipped with Redhat 7 doesn't 
work either. When I was running 2.2.15 and RedHat 6.2 before upgrading it 
worked great. Never had an oops ever.
I ran a memory checker under dos as well and it didn't find anything. Any 
tips?
