Dear List Users, I have successfully installed Fedora 5 on a shuttleX machine, AMD 2700 XP processor. I updated to kernel-2.6.17-1.2157_FC5 and everything was working beautifully and then all of a sudden the machine froze. Could not CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE, could not shutdown. I was surfing the net and this happened. I decided to reset. When I reset the machine it gave me the message Starting udev: BUG: spinlock bad magic on CPU#0, udevd/447 (Tainted:P ) lock: c06e07d4, .magic: c06eo7d4, .owner:{weird symbol goes here} ... Bug: spinlock lockup on CPU#0, udev/447 cobeo7d4 (Tainted: P). It stayed there leaving me no choice but to press and hold the power button till it shutdown. I let it stay off for a little and I turned it back on and it let me through with no error message as the previous one. What does this error mean? Is the CPU dying little by little?
