Correct rpm is kernel-smp-2.6.9-1.667.
Created attachment 107573 [details] Copy of dmesg displaying similar error...
I'm having the same issue, only with kernel version.. kernel-smp-2.6.9-1.681_FC3 But when receiving that error, the system only locks up about half the time.
Created attachment 107975 [details] syslog file with error message output
Comment on attachment 107975 [details] syslog file with error message output I get the same error daily at 4am. The system may stay useable for a short time but will evently require a reset. I can sometimes reproduce the error by running the scripts in /etc/cron.daily (ex prelink).
I got the same oops when i launch /etc/cron.daily/slocate.cron. This can be reproduced with all theses kernels : - kernel-2.6.9-1.667 - kernel-2.6.9-1.698_FC3 - kernel-2.6.9-1.681_FC3

Changed from 2.6.9-1.667 to 2.6.9-1.724_FC3 but problem persists. Before leaving work, I logout but keep the computer on; almost regularly the problem appears next morning when I come to login. Without rebooting I am unable to login: can enter username but won't prompt for password. Rebooting using Ctl+Alt+Del does not work; only hard reboot works.
I'm having the same issue, except for me it is the process hald that stops. I'm using kernel-2.6.10-1.770_FC3. My system is a headless file and printer server. This happened spontaneously at 00:50:12. No clients were connected at the time. The system did not lock up, and is still running now (the next day). I've attached a copy of the relevant lines from /var/log/messages

I'm seeing similar problems both on 2.6.10-1.770_FC3 and 2.6.11-1.27_FC3. My system is an imap, squid and webmail server, very lightly used, nor running an X display. After several days running the slab cache areas get quite big, particularly the "ext3_inode_cache" and "dentry_cache" caches. Then a random process gets killed by a kernel Oops (see atached logs below). If the process is not vital the system will keep running, but eventually one or more similar Oopses will occur and eventually something vital enough will crash or hang the system. System has 512Mb memory, Celeron-D processor and a VIA motherboard.

An update has been released for Fedora Core 3 (kernel-2.6.12-1.1372_FC3) which may contain a fix for your problem. Please update to this new kernel, and report whether or not it fixes your problem. If you have updated to Fedora Core 4 since this bug was opened, and the problem still occurs with the latest updates for that release, please change the version field of this bug to 'fc4'. Thank you.
Actually my problems seem to be fixed in kernel-2.6.11-1.35_FC3. Since installing this I have seen no repetition of the Oops mentioned above, in 5+ weeks of reular use. I am going to install the 2.6.12 kernel tomorrow and will report if the problem reoccurs.
