etch is no longer supported and nor is Linux 2.6.30, so let's concentrate on lenny and squeeze. Please test either the current kernel version from unstable (2.6.32-9) or stable-security (2.6.26-21lenny3). > previously i've had lenny 32 bit on my work computer and from time to > time it did not crash while trying to capture packets, but even when > did, only application (wireshark) crashed, not whole system. > > > i also have tried to capture with vmnet module removed but it didn't > help anyway. A bug in a kernel module can cause a crash even after it is removed. While investigating this bug, please ensure that vmnet is never loaded. > if more informations are needed, don't hestiate to ask for. The kernel will almost always log some messages when it crashes, but these cannot be stored to a log file because the system stops. Please use a serial console to record the messages <http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/serial-console.txt>, or run the capture program from a text console and photograph the on-screen messages.
