Motherboard: MSI K8T800-FSIR One SATA drive (boot, /) connected to Promise SATA connector One ATA drive (not mounted by default) The video card is an MSI card with NVidia GeForce FX 5200] I am using the driver from NVidia (installed via YOU) Just around the time of the crash, I am seeing a number of messages like these: Jun 2 08:28:22 mrburns kernel: Badness in pci_find_subsys at drivers/pci/search.c:167 Jun 2 08:28:22 mrburns kernel: Jun 2 08:28:22 mrburns kernel: Call Trace:<IRQ> <ffffffff80209e43>{pci_find_subsys+83} <ffffffff80209f10>{pci_find_slot+48} Jun 2 08:28:22 mrburns kernel: <ffffffffa0281830>{:nvidia:os_pci_init_handle+32} <ffffffffa029d69e>{:nvidia:_nv000904rm+24} Jun 2 08:28:22 mrburns kernel: <ffffffffa0356eb4>{:nvidia:_nv002969rm+178} <ffffffff80209e43>{pci_find_subsys+83} Jun 2 08:28:22 mrburns kernel: <ffffffffa03c51ff>{:nvidia:_nv001148rm+121} <ffffffffa03f34b0>{:nvidia:_nv000711rm+966} Jun 2 08:28:22 mrburns kernel: <ffffffffa03735d7>{:nvidia:_nv001272rm+51} <ffffffffa037274c>{:nvidia:_nv001217rm+28} Jun 2 08:28:22 mrburns kernel: <ffffffffa03f2eba>{:nvidia:_nv000704rm+46} <ffffffffa0355892>{:nvidia:_nv002988rm+438} Jun 2 08:28:22 mrburns kernel: <ffffffffa03729e0>{:nvidia:_nv002809rm+16} <ffffffffa03bb62b>{:nvidia:_nv001452rm+65} Jun 2 08:28:22 mrburns kernel: <ffffffffa03729b4>{:nvidia:_nv002811rm+16} <ffffffffa0411ccd>{:nvidia:_nv005219rm+1861} Jun 2 08:28:22 mrburns kernel: <ffffffffa029e9ee>{:nvidia:_nv000719rm+62} <ffffffffa029ec73>{:nvidia:_nv000858rm+103} Jun 2 08:28:22 mrburns kernel: <ffffffffa0353e25>{:nvidia:_nv002967rm+1907} <ffffffffa0372344>{:nvidia:_nv001214rm+112} Jun 2 08:28:22 mrburns kernel: <ffffffffa029ee16>{:nvidia:_nv000884rm+16} <ffffffffa03c140b>{:nvidia:_nv001134rm+723} Jun 2 08:28:22 mrburns kernel: <ffffffffa02a078e>{:nvidia:_nv005317rm+112} <ffffffffa02a212d>{:nvidia:rm_isr_bh+9} Jun 2 08:28:22 mrburns kernel: <ffffffff801386fa>{tasklet_action+74} <ffffffff8013891b>{do_softirq+123} Jun 2 08:28:22 mrburns kernel: <ffffffff80113391>{do_IRQ+257} <ffffffff8011091d>{ret_from_intr+0} Jun 2 08:28:22 mrburns kernel: <EOI> <ffffffff80131a54>{thread_return+0} <ffffffff80110342>{system_call+26} Jun 2 08:28:22 mrburns kernel: <ffffffff801103a4>{system_call+124} Jun 2 08:28:24 mrburns kernel: VFS: busy inodes on changed media.
