Hi, SuSErs :) My stand-alone PC crashed in night ~ doing nothing, I believe . . . no cron-job scheduled around crash-time . . . system had been up & running for about a week. This is what /var/log/messages reports :- ...................................... Feb 22 01:08:49 AIG kernel: Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual a Feb 22 01:08:49 AIG kernel: Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual a Feb 22 01:08:49 AIG kernel: current->tss.cr3 = 11ac0000, %cr3 = 11ac0000 Feb 22 01:08:49 AIG kernel: current->tss.cr3 = 11ac0000, %cr3 = 11ac0000 Feb 22 01:08:49 AIG kernel: *pde = 00000000 Feb 22 01:08:49 AIG kernel: *pde = 00000000 Feb 22 01:08:49 AIG kernel: Oops: 0002 Feb 22 01:08:49 AIG kernel: Oops: 0002 Feb 22 01:08:49 AIG kernel: CPU: 0 Feb 22 01:08:49 AIG kernel: CPU: 0 ..................................................................... Does anyone, please, have a clue, as to what may have caused this 'random' crash . . . a Cosmic ray ? { using UPS, doubt that Power Supply could have been cause } Thanks best wishes, Richard ____________ sent on Linux ____________
