I have recently installed debain Etch 40r3 on an older Intel desktop which was previously reliably running a 2,4 Kernel SuSE system.
The installation went pretty smoothly, and the system is being manly used as a firewall (Shorewall) for a local lan, and a Samba server. This morning it generated an oops as follows: Message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] at Sat Apr 12 08:11:27 2008 ... tuko kernel: Oops: 0002 [#1] tuko kernel: SMP tuko kernel: CPU: 0 tuko kernel: EIP is at _spin_lock+0x1/0xf tuko kernel: eax: 00000044 ebx: 00000000 ecx: 00000001 edx: e7893d98 tuko kernel: esi: e7893d98 edi: 00000044 ebp: 00000044 esp: dfa67f00 tuko kernel: ds: 007b es: 007b ss: 0068 tuko kernel: Process kswapd0 (pid: 122, ti=dfa66000 task=dff98550 task.ti=dfa660 00) tuko kernel: Stack: c015e27d e7893ca4 00000000 c016f31e 00000080 e7893ea4 c60984 cc 0000f7a8 tuko kernel: dfffeac0 0000008d 000000d0 c0148ca8 003dea00 00000000 003dea 00 000315a5 tuko kernel: 00000080 00000000 00000020 c02ccec0 c02cd540 00000003 c01490 53 00000000 tuko kernel: Call Trace: tuko kernel: Code: 05 90 ff 02 30 c9 89 c8 c3 89 c2 90 81 28 00 00 00 01 0f 94 c 0 84 c0 b9 01 00 00 00 75 09 90 81 02 00 00 00 01 30 c9 89 c8 c3 90 <fe> 08 79 0 9 f3 90 80 38 00 7e f9 eb f2 c3 90 81 28 00 00 00 01 tuko kernel: EIP: [<c028091a>] _spin_lock+0x1/0xf SS:ESP 0068:dfa67f00 Following this my ssh connections were still there, but after one or two commands would freeze on something. The system continues to respond to pings, but I can't start any new ssh connections. I need to get it rebooted to get more details on the installation. Before I spend too much time on it, does anyone know of this particular oops being a known problem? Any other thoughts/suggestions appreciated. Thanks, DigbyT -- Digby R. S.
