[please CC me on replies as I'm not subscribed] Below are two somewhat similar Oopses from two different systems with an identical kernel configuration (attached) captured with netconsole. The kernel is a 2.4.27 with some patches. The Oopses happen not often (once every 4 to 8 weeks on average). They do have in common that they happen when there is lots of disk I/O and network I/O. ============================================================================ ksymoops 2.4.9 on i686 2.4.27.
