Hello,

on one of my machines the kernel is oopsing every so often with
the following message:

This happens with 2.6.8.1 as well as with earlier kernels.
This is a Quad-Xeon-Box from Dell (SMP kernel).
I've no idea what is causing these failures and didn't found anything useful
by searching. Therefore I would be grateful for any help.

With regards

Racke
