I had two kernel panic's with linux vserver and a dual xeon system. One with vs1.22 and one with vs1.26. I'm not 100% sure, but I think this maybe some gcc 2.95.4 bug. The crashing kernel were compiled with gcc-2.95.4 after 2-3 weeks of uptime. The same kernel compiled with gcc-3.2.x did not crash. I did not get at the panic dump, because the machine had to be rebooted. The same gcc-2.95.4 compiled kernels had no problems on an Athlon machine. I'd suggest not to use gcc-2.95 to compile for xeon machines. -- lg, Chris _______________________________________________ Vserver mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://list.linux-vserver.org/mailman/listinfo/vserver
