They occur every couple of days. Checking the log always shows there is a kernel oops when it failed doing virtual paging. I have also been getting spurious 8259A interrupts but they don't seem to matter. I've been trying everything I can think of. This is an old test 400Mhz box that was running FC1 from the day it came out without a single problem. I really don't want to go back to FC1 but this is getting very irritating. It's been running mem86test for hours today without a problem. This box is so solid it will run win98 for weeks without a reboot! -- Gerry "The lyfe so short, the craft so long to learne" Chaucer
