Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.4.21-1.1931.2.349.2.2.ent (athlon) How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot taroon 2. check /var/log/message
First oops of the bunch looks related to a address_space-based filesystem, i.e. the core VFS.
if this is an athlon box you need to use RHN to get a newer kernel
No problem with the new kernel-2.4.21-1.1931.2.382.ent (AS).
I'll call that a "verified fixed" Thank you for confirming this.
