Anyway, I am running a slightly modded kernel 2.0.28. The only mods are
that I put in loopback filesystem encryption about four months ago and I
had efs and hfs filesystem support loaded as kernel modules, which I put
in about two weeks ago. This is on a single processor intel pentium 100,
40 megs of physical ram, 96 megs of swap, 256k pipeline cache. My drives
are all fast-scsi, attached to an adaptec 2940. I installed this system
into a blank drive from a 2.0.0 slakware linux cd-rom and it has been
running for almost a year now. IE: There are no remnants of a pre-2.x.x
system and I don't think it's a blatant hardware problem. If anyone has
any ideas as far as what caused this or tests I can run to see if my
system really is stable I would appriceate it. I hope this was not just a
random 'hiccup' that I should ignore, because that would mean linux
stability is slowly going downwards... (I've run 1.2.x for years and
never had even seen an oops until I started running 2.0.0 a while back)
Ok, here's the relevant info from my syslog file:
