can you attach a bit more of the kernel oops?

Comment 2 Need Real Name 2002-12-13 17:07:31 EST

I'm unsure which script it is now... I recieved the same error last night after 
moving tetex.cron out of cron.daily.  Now I have removed slrnpull-expire.  We 
will see I guess.

Sorry.

Comment 3 Arjan van de Ven 2002-12-13 17:10:37 EST

well but I still need more info on the error
"something happened" is hard to judge ;)
Also are you running the latest erratum kernel?
and what modules are you using?
