Description of problem:
Server had the following stored in the syslog a moment before it crashed, load
also rocketed (1 min avg 0.2 usually, at time of crash 36+) although no process
was doing anything special... The info below is the same as was printed on the
console :)

Output of dmesg

Dmesg output is from 2.4.20-18.9 not, 2.4.20-13.9 as the server rebooted with
the latest RH9 errata kernel.

Comment 4 Kaj J. Niemi 2003-07-12 15:18:54 UTC
Seems like bug #90610, bug #91986 are sort of related.

Comment 5 Kaj J. Niemi 2003-08-26 17:14:25 UTC
Hasn't happened with -18.9, -19.9 or -20.9 kernels. I'll go ahead and resolve as
WORKSFORME.
