Kernel Oops 2.6.15-1 FC4

Kernel Oops 2.6.15-1 FC4

[Peter Van]

I am running FC4 and had a Oops about two weeks ago.  Several people on this 
list suggested I upgrade to a newer kernel which I did.  The other day another 
Oops occured in what looks like the same file.   I've run  memtest for 24 hours 
without a problem.

I'd appreciate any suggestions on how to determine the cause or track this down?


Thanks Pete
