From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020823 Netscape/7.0 Description of problem: Machine hard locks up with an oops. The oops does not get written to disk. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: Can't reliably reproduce. It seems to be random. Additional info: Sorry about the incomplete oops, these were copied by hand by hand from the console in a hurry. The machine locked up twice. The mouse seemed to still work on the first lockup, but I couldn't change consoles to see the oops. The second time a few minutes later this appeared on the console and the machine was locked up. I have since backed down to 2.4.18-14smp to see if this will work. I'll try to get a complete one if it happens with the slightly older kernel.

The same machine has now been running 19 days without a problem using a previous 2.4.18-14smp kernel. It appears that the newer errata kernel is unstable. BTW, the errata kernel has a newer version of the aacraid driver (may or may not be related).
