Hi Bismark, Could be Nessus or it could be Ubuntu. If anyone else is having a similar issue, I would like to know.
Here are random things you could try, as there are many reasons that your laptop could have a crash of some sort: - I didn't do extensive research, but the error message in your logs seems to show up when 64 bit apps are run on 32 systems and vice-versa. Did you install Nessus 64 bit on a 32 bit system or in anyway have a hardware compatibility issue there? - Try a slower scan. If the crash happens less often, you may have some sort of capacity issue such as limited memory. - Are you scanning yourself? There could be a daemon (X Windows, VNC, RPC, print, .etc, .etc) that has some sort of DOS that is un-known. - Are you sniffing on your laptop? There could be an issue with the kernel being placed into promiscuous mode along with Nessus. If you are running ntop, snort, .etc during the scan, you might be exercising the kernel a certain way. - Do you have multiple NICs, virtual NICs, or any other type of IP addressing, routing or tunneling, that could be causing a self-inflicted DOS attack. Use the netstat and ifconfig commands to look at packet counts and such.
