From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0) Description of problem: Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address The address varies from 0000005 to e6233014 A number of these messages will occur with different processes in a fairly short period of time; services seem to be closed down until the machine stalls. There are a number of lines recorded in the log file for each occurrence of the fault. The general format is as reported for a similar bug in Bug 58811 - obviously the lines differ. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.4.7-10 How reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce Steps to Reproduce: We don't know the cause so we cannot reproduce it - the system will run for an hour or a week (very seldom longer than that). The current problem last failed at 02:40 (GMT) on 29 March 2003 then yesterday at 17:19 (BST) Additional info:
kernel-2.4.7-10 has been superceded by what by now is a dozen updated releases which fix quite a massive amount of security issues and bugs. Please try the latest erratum update.
agreed, closing this bug. If you encounter a problem with kernel-2.4.20-18.7 or later, please open another bug report and include the error messages.
