I don't think grsecurity is involved beyond the fact that it noticed the signal and is logging it. > The current solution to this problem is simply to continue rebooting until > all the grsec messages stop appearing.

My guess, based on the fact that the problem is sporadic, is that it is a hardware issue. Possibly a bad floppy or faulty RAM. If it is possible to replace either of those easily, you might do so and see if the problem disappears. --Brad > Patrick Teague ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: OSDN - Tired of that same old cell phone?
