Package: linux-image-3.2.0-4-amd64 Version: 3.2.54-2 We got from time to time the following kernel Oops.
The Oops occurred during high load caused by an oracle database export to a mounted CIFS share. The machine runs on a ESX host along with a lot other machines that run happily during the same time, so I do not expect some kind of memory corruption. How we could proceed? We have captured some (three) kernel dumps if that will help.
