Yesterday i got this oops with kernel 2.4.2 (SMP, without any additional patches). Even though this is the first oops with 2.4.2, i got 3 oops in 4 days with 2.4.1. The machine was almost idle, running only mailsnarf, apache, postgresql and vmstat; without any load: (output from vmstat): r b w swpd free buff cache si so bi bo in cs us sy id 0 0 0 12 7428 24844 3980 0 0 0 0 586 912 0 2 98 Attached are the plain oops, the ksymoops'ed oops, the dmesg and the lsmod output (the only one module loaded, megaraid, is loaded at boot time). If you need any other info, just ask. Thanks, Alberto
