Description ola 2000-11-10 12:20:51 UTC 
We got the following crash while copying a couple of gigabyte files to a
server via Samba. (Amazingly the system managed to log the error before
dying.

Network: 3Com 3c905B, SCSI: Ami Megaraid 466

Downgrading to kernel-2.2.16-3smp.i386 apparently fixes the problem.
