Hi Corey
thank you for the response. i am sorry i could not reply to you
immediately.i applied the patch you gave me and rebuilt the kernel. the
problem hasn't gone away. now the system goes down after some time. so i
checked /var/log/messages try and find out why it went down. i did not
get any core dumps or error messages. is there some other way to debug
this ?
thanks & regards
