Dear guru's, I'm getting an OOPS on a recently installed Debian box. Before upgrading to the latest woody 2.4.18-bf2.4 it would crash hard, killing interrupt handler. Now, it gets an OOPS but keeps on running. The problem is I cannot run anything that looks at the process table, or that process locks up. These crashes happen between days and hours apart, seemingly at random.
The only other symptom I had noticed is that if I did a "find /", it would occasionally pause for about 7 seconds, and processes blocking on diskio would start climbing before returning to normal. Almost as if it was resetting the SCSI or IDE bus, but nothing was left in logs or dmesg. I left "vmstat 1" running overnight, and though it stopped functioning after the OOPS, it was not during a period of high i/o or cpu. The machine is SMP capable, but using only one processor currently. Mobo is Tyan Thunder LE S2510 (Dual PIII) http://www.tysys.se/products/tyan_th_s2510.html. Why is it crashing? Thanks in advance for any ideas. Current plan is memtest86, and installation of a kernel from an identically equipped machine that is having no problems.
