Hello. My kernel panicked at /net/core/skbuff.c (line: 93 "BUG();") That was the first time when I booted into it. The second time, it was fine till about 2 hours, while I was writing *this* mail. Rebooted all of a sudden (no idea as to where the problem was. It was _quick_. No messages, nothing). This is my first post. Please do correct me if I've supplied incomplete information. (the output of dmesg follows) regards, jaju ============================================================================================ Linux version 2.4.0-test8 ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version 2.96 20000724 (experimental)) #4 Sat Sep 9 03:55:44 IST 2000 BIOS-provided physical RAM map: BIOS-e820: 000000000009fc00 @ 0000000000000000 (usable) BIOS-e820: 0000000000000400 @ 000000000009fc00 (reserved) BIOS-e820: 0000000000004000 @ 00000000000dc000 (reserved) BIOS-e820: 0000000000010000 @ 00000000000f0000 (reserved) BIOS-e820: 0000000007f00000 @ 0000000000100000 (usable) BIOS-e820: 0000000000040000 @ 00000000fffc0000 (reserved) Scan SMP from c0000000 for 1024 bytes.
