Hi all, For the past 24 hours, my system has been oopsing every so often. The problem is not reproducible on command, but it does seem to be inevitable after a few hours. I can't seem to get through a kernel compile without it happening. In the first oops attachment, the Enlightenment WM was doing something when the oops happened. In the second oops attachment, I had rebooted and used WindowMaker instead of Enlightenment just to make sure there wasn't something about Enlightenment that was causing the problem. I downloaded 2.6.11 and was in the process of making a new kernel when the oops happened. I believe that the bash invocation for the make caused the oops. I never had this problem before. It appears to have started after a Debian update (I use Debian/testing), but perhaps the update just coincided with hardware failure. The system is an aging dual Celeron PII/333. I've never sent in an oops report before. From oops-tracing.txt, man ksymoops and the ksymoops output, I need /proc/ksyms, but it appears that file has disappeared from the kernel. However, judging by the actual text of the oops report, it appears that the object translation was performed automatically. I'm seeing things that look like function names, so perhaps the man page, oops-tracing.txt, and ksymoops output are all out of date?
