I did think that, but with SuSE 8.2 didn't have that problem, neither with 8.1, 8.0, 7.3, on the same machine!!!. IF I load runlevel 1 and then change to runlevel5 there is NO problem the problems start when Jan 15 22:27:39 linux kernel: raid5: resync finished. This happens!! But anyway I will be trying the memtest. Thanks!

Try running memtest86 overnight. Then get a printout and contact your dealer for new RAMs.

Process man should never cause a kernel Oops... Greetings and good luck............Michael --- --- Michael Wirth linux-install Mühlehof 20 Phone: +49-7073-802 72119 Ammerbuch Fax: +49-7073-500282 wirth@linux-install.de Web: http://www.linux-install.de/
