Hi, I have an Athon box that ran very well with SuSE 8.1. Then, after the upgrade to 8.2, I discovered that it reboots at least once a day. It still used the k_deflt kernel, so I tried the k_athlon kernel. Now it does not reboot that often, but applications crash all over the place. THe log file shows that the kernel oops. It is different applications that crash, so i doubt if it is hardware. The machine has been running flawless with SuSE 8.1 also. Any ideas?
