And have you had a chance to ensure the microcode update is indeed caused the panic, did you try to revert update and try to reproduce the panic? It's crashing with microcode_ctl-1.17-18.fc16.x86_64 installed. When the system crashes my screen is blank and the system is not on the network. Also there doesn't appear to be anything in /var/log/messages I think I can crash the system at will if you give me more specific instructions on what information you need. Changed job to use xz instead of 7zip and system is still crashing. Basically I have a root cron job that backs up home directory files nightly but it doesn't complete anymore. If I run it manually from a root bash session it usually does complete but never from cron now for some reason.
I think the problem is related to this error.
The system has an encrypted RAID0 array which is getting backed up to a non RAID encrypted files system

This only happens when a VMware Player 4.0.1 64 bit guest is running. Think I discovered the source of the problem. My main VM guest has access to some files on the host. These same files are backed up by the script in question. The backup works fine if the VM guest is stopped while the backup operation is performed on the host These commands are executed before and after the backup killall -s SIGSTOP vmware-vmx killall -s SIGCONT vmware-vmx |
