Hello everybody, I just joined the mailing list although I have been using Debian and some other GNU/Linux distributions for about six years. Now I installed Debian 6.0 squeeze using netinst in an Asus eeepc 1215p (320 GB HD, 1,5 GHz dual core Athlon processor, 2 GB RAM DDR2). Everything is apparently ok except for the fact that, for the last week, a message appears from time to time stating that there is a kernel failure. Although the system seems stable I am afraid this could cause serious trouble and I would like to avoid it solving the problem. Following is the message I get. Any help regarding this would be deeply appreciated. Best regards, Gerardo Mirkin
