Hello everyone, I've been having a problem with my Dell Precision M6400 laptop and Fedora 10. I keep getting kernel panics at random times (I've been unable to find any activity that can possibly be the cause, such as a certain program or anything). It can happen sometimes 10 times in a half an hour, and other times I can go a week without a single panic. It can happen right after logging into KDE, a week after boot, and even seconds into the boot process. My current "uname -a" is: 2.6.27.35-170.2.94.fc10.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Oct 1 14:41:38 EDT 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux I also did a search in /var/log/messages for errors, and got the following: [root@yaakov brianf]# grep -i error /var/log/messages Oct 18 09:00:53 yaakov NetworkManager: <WARN> check_one_route(): (wlan0) error -34 returned from rtnl_route_del(): Sucess#012 Oct 18 09:01:04 yaakov auditd[2067]: Error sending signal_info request (Operation not supported) Oct 18 10:22:53 yaakov NetworkManager: <WARN> nm_generic_enable_loopback(): error -17 returned from rtnl_addr_add():#012Sucess#012 Oct 18 10:22:53 yaakov NetworkManager: <WARN> killswitch_getpower_reply(): Error getting killswitch power: Method "GetPower" with signature "" on interface "org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.KillSwitch" doesn't exist#012.

I cannot be 100% sure, but I believe that the timestamps that go with the "NetworkManager <WARN>" messages are around the same time as the panic's I've been having. I'm going to do some searching on that specific error, but if anyone knows the problem or ways to track it down, I'd be greatly appreciative. I hope I've provided enough information (had to type this fast as last time I had a panic mid way through), if not I'll be happy to give any info needed.
