I have heard of kernel oops before but have not seen one until now. This is from an FC2 system. I believe the kernel is up to date (2.6.8-1.521 #1 Mon Aug 16 09:01:18 EDT 2004 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux). System appeared to be operating normally until this occurred. How does one determine what caused this problem?
