Help in kernel error

Help in kernel error

[Dapid Candra]

Hi,

I got the following messages just before my server freeze.

The server is now served as Oracle database server. It is also using
external storage connected by SCSI. It runs Red Hat EL AS 4.0. And it has
4GB RAM.

Any help on this problems would be greatly appreciated.

TIA

Dapid Candra

You need to take this up with either your system hardware vendor's
support department, or with Red Hat support directly.  Upgrading to a
more recent kernel from RHN may well alleviate this too.
