 	Hello ted ,

I folowed your advice , and now after 60 hours of continuous  usage I had 
no oops. I will keep stressing the system to see how it goes. Using 2.4.30 
and openafs 1.3.78 at the moment.

 	Thanks to everyone who replied :)

 	It's been 9 days now of heavy usage , and not a single oops 
occured again. Problem solved:)

 	Unfortunately , it seems our conclusions were premature:

ksymoops 2.4.11 on i686 2.4.30.  Options used
      -V (default)
      -k /proc/ksyms (default)
      -l /proc/modules (default)
      -o /lib/modules/2.4.30/ (default)
      -m /usr/src/linux/System.map (default)

Warning: You did not tell me where to find symbol information.  I will
assume that the log matches the kernel and modules that are running
right now and I'll use the default options above for symbol resolution.
If the current kernel and/or modules do not match the log, you can get
more accurate output by telling me the kernel version and where to find
map, modules, ksyms etc.  ksymoops -h explains the options.

What processor chip are you running on? A 686 has one different instruction
than a 586 does.

Running a 2.6 kernel here.

Gcc -dumpmachine  #should prints out i586-suse-linux for a P III here.

I'd try a fresh single processor machine and force a 2.6 kernel, module and
afs recompile for a i586.

SuSE 9.3 costs $90 and it solved a similar problem noted in the mailings. In
fact the YasT installed openafs binaries ran fine.

The ksymoops man page has a script to tail -f /var/log/messages|ksymoops1

Are you sure there isn't a memory problem? I'm running out of ideas.

You're really trying too hard.  The oops in question clearly shows EIP in 
osi_Panic(), which is _supposed_ to result in a crash.  So, stop trying to 
analyze the mechanism by which osi_Panic forces a fault, and instead go 
look at your logs and tell us what the panic string was.

 	Do you have any pointers to Suse's solution and source code?I 
could check what they did and try it...

 	I will try that , thnx :)

 	It's been a while since I memtested the box , I will try that also 
when I return at the office ( in about a week).

/proc/cpuinfo shows that the cmov instruction is there for Durons, PIII's
and P4's.

Its not for the Via C3 processors which you don't have.

If a new kernel was built, what was it named?

Looks like the existing kernel was overwritten. Normally the
CONIFG_LOCALVERSION is changed to differentiate from a working kernel. (I.e.
if the new kernel fails one can reboot with an existing stable kernel).
