Hi,
I compiled valnilla kernel 2.6.16.23 on 64bit Fedora
Core 4 months ago.
the kernels runs well for a lot of machines for
months but weeks ago 4 machines dead with a black
screen, we could ping them but failed to ssh into
them.
After power-cycled the 4 machines, I have found the
following in the /var/log/messages. -- it looks that
there were still enough free memory, though.
Please help explain the output, and possibly what's
the correct way to fix/workaround it. Thanks a lot.
