Hello,
Maybe this is a boker-tov-eliyahu thing, but still. I've installed
Fedora 12, just to find out that it warns me about kernel oopses. In my
remote memories, I recall that a kernel oops usually meant that my
hardware was cooking (in those days when Linux was rock solid and
hardware
Thanks, but it looks like I wasn't clear about it: My issue is not to
solve the specific problem. The question is that if I should bother, or
just wait.
In ancient times, an oops meant I had no choice. The computer was dead.
But judging by how the interface communicates with me (something
Try a quick google search for the warning:

It might be problem with hpet and freq-scaling not playing nicely with
each other.

On Fri,
this is oops-dependent - but i tihnk this is generaly a software bug.
some oopses cause the machine to freeze and you need to reboot. some
other times, they just cause a user-space process to terminate - and you
can continue working normally.
in general, i think the old myths are not true
Hi,
IIRC in Linux an OOPS will not necessarily freeze the system (though this
can be configured via some /proc entry or at compilation time). If an OOPS
occurs in the context of a process, that process will be killed with a
SEGFAULT, and the system will attempt to continue to work.
Obviously
Hello Eli,
I would not take it cool.
If I understand correctly, some kernel thread had a real
serious error, accessing bad address for example.
Fortunately this event was caught.
But next time, this bad memory access might be disastrous.

Hi,
The /proc entry I was talking about is

Thanks for your answers (on this one and on my other issues).
I realize that the oops is still an oops, only nowadays nobody want to
stop the whole show, just because some kernel code misbehaved. If the
general idea is that the worst thing a kernel can do is to crash, why
crash now? Kill the

Just for the heck of it, the relevant part from /var/log/messages
