What do you mean 'with active termination'? Do this: connect your RW to the
50-pin cable and turn the termination on the RW on. Connect the HDD to the
68-pin cable and also turn the HDD's termination on. Now, in the SCSI BIOS,
turn the controller's termination _off_. Also check that the HDD and the RW
are set to different IDs (the HDD should be 0).

Replaced it just two weeks ago. The problem didn't go away then. Fan
has been changed 2 times, actually. Stability didn't change.

Patrick F. Harris just mentioned one way of installing X 4.0.1 in the
post above yours. I didn't see RH7 myself yet, but from what he wrote
it seems that 4.0.1 is located on a Contrib CD and you must install it
therefrom. See the rpm manual page for defailed options, but it should
usually suffice to use just "rpm -Uvh <package>.rpm".
Another option (somewhat wilder) would be to download the latest X11R6
release from XFree86 Project (ftp.xfree86.org) and install it by hand.
There are documents in that release describing how one should do it.
Cheers,

Subject: unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address ffffffff

[my system description is snipped, read original message for these
details]
I left the machine displaying virtual console 1 (text mode, showing
the login) and the activity in X (virtual console 7) was low (1 xterm,
1 clock, some system monitors running. No screensavers).
Today, I saw this on the virtual console 1:
unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address ffffffff
current->tss.cr3 = 00101000, %cr3 = 00101000

aiee, killing interrupt handler
kernel panic: attempted to kill the idle task!
in swapper task - not syncing
I assume it is possible to configure the kernel to output more
information than these numbers or that it is possible to gain
knowledge of what these numbers stand for. I am in particular
interrested in the call trace. It might explain where it went of the
road.
