Dear List Users, I have a ShuttleX machine on which I installed FC5 on. I have been getting weird messages. I barely can get anything done. Whenever I get these messages Message from syslogd@ShuttleX at Sun Aug 20 20:11:25 2006 ... ShuttleX kernel: Oops: 0000 [#2] Message from syslogd@ShuttleX at Sun Aug 20 20:11:25 2006 ...

Upon rebooting gdm crashed and gave me a new screen. Several services failed. Computer even froze on me and ctrl+alt+backspace did not respond. I had to press and hold power button to shutdown the computer. I guess if I try to compile a vanilla kernel, I might not be able to get it to work because of fear from these messages. This is the same machine that had given me the message when udev appears CPU spinlock, tainted kernel, etc. I have two fedora kernels running and the two actually act in the same way. I tried sending this message from that machine, with a dmesg and cat /var/log/messages, but the messages appeared and could not send it. What do you recommend for me to do?
