I am running kernel 2.6.18-1.2798.fc6 I thought it was a disk problem too, that is why I imaged the machine to a new hard disk. It is a single Seagate drive Barracuda 160GB (one of those situations where a test machine got quickly used for production, but I am planning to move it to real server as soon as the approvals come through) running on an ASUS P5NSLI motherboard. The original drive was the exact same type. -----Original Message----- From: Alan Cox [mailto:alan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, August 06, 2007 12:50 PM To: For users of Fedora Cc: Jason Taylor Subject: Re: fedora 6 kernel panic issues > once in a while (once or twice a week) the machine locks ups and the > console had a bunch of I/O errors related to sba.

One of your disks went for a hike, the question is why ? What kernel ?
