Hi, I compiled the 2.6.10 kernel with HyperThreading optimization (I'm running a 3.06 Ghz single Xeon processor with HT enabled). More or less, I'm running Mandrake 10 Official, but with my own kernel. Can anybody help explain why I'm getting this Oops on shutdown? It doesn't happen all the time -- about 50 percent of the time. Never happens with the 2.6.6 kernel. I configured the 2.6.10 kernel with mostly the same settings -- saying "no" to everything new, except optimizing for P4/Xeon processor, enabling HT optimization, and NOT enabling lots of "ham radio" and "ISDN" stuff that seemed to be enabled in the Mandrake kernel. Some relevant things about the machine: Single Xeon 3.06 processor 2 GB ECC RAM 2x 3ware 9500S-8 SATA RAID Cards 16 SATA drives 2 built-in GigE ports on motherboard 2 Intel 1000 MT Server Adapters on each of the two 133 Mhz PCI-X slots Here's the output from the Oops
