I'm inclined to suspect a RAM failure that coincided with this upgrade.
Are you still running 2.6.26 or have you switched back to 2.6.25?  If
you switched back to 2.6.25 or to some other kernel version, did the
problem go away?  If not, have you tested the RAM with memtest86+?

I'm now running 2.6.30+20~bpo50+1 from lenny backports which is also
completely stable on the machine.

Bug#527080: linux-image-2.6-686: Periodic kernel panic

2009-05-05 Thread Paul Gotch
Package: linux-image-2.6-686
Version: 2.6.26+17+lenny1
Severity: important


I've been experiencing periodic kernel panics since I upgraded to the
Lenny kernel (from a backports 2.6.25) which was stable on the the same
machine.

The panics seem to happen every 2 days or so if I don't have a serial
console attached and rather longer possibly every 4 to 8 days if I do.
However this is only based on a couple of datapoints so may be
spurious. I have to have a serial console attached to see the
panic text at all.

/proc/cpuinfo identifies the processors as

processor   : 0
vendor_id   : GenuineIntel
cpu family  : 15
model   : 2
model name  : Intel(R) XEON(TM) CPU 2.00GHz
stepping: 4
cpu MHz : 1995.167
cache size  : 512 KB

There are two processors in the machine and hyperthreading is switched
off.

The bios appears to be an HP specific one which dmidecode identifies as

Handle 0x, DMI type 0, 20 bytes
BIOS Information
Vendor: Phoenix Technologies Ltd.
Version: IU.W1.16US 
Release Date: 03/04/2003

I believe the chipset to be an Intel i860 on an HP custom motherboard.

The panic is:
