I had trouble with a Networkcard with Realtek RTL 8139A Chip wich does not work proper with the via Chip. So today I changed the card with one from Fiober Line wich has a Davicom DM 9102AF Chip. After some stress test I thought this card was doing fine. Now I had to leave and prepared the computer for my Girlfried. Loggin in under her account, starting KDE 2.1.2 under Suse 7.1 and switched of the Monitor. 6 Hours later I found this oops and my girlfriend hasn't used the computer during this time. So I don't know if this has to do with the new networkcard, the new NVIDIA Driver 0.9-769 I installed yesterday with XFree 4.3 or something else. The only thing I know is, that I never had this oops before. If there is something more I can do to help to find the reason please tell me, but please more than three words, I'm no kernel Hacker, I just like to help. I included the part of /var/log/messages.

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.

When you told me about the destruction of our base in Quadrant 37, I knew that only a major power could attempt an assault of that magnitude, but none of the governments here could have done it, which left only two possibilities: a new race, or an old race - a very old race. -- G'Kar, "Revelations"
