Having a problem tracking down a problem with my wife's machine. Its a 1.2GHz Athlon, 768 MB RAM, two HDs a DVD ROM and a CD-RW:
hda: IBM-DTTA-371010, ATA DISK drive hdb: Hewlett-Packard CD-Writer Plus 9100, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive hdc: ST328040A, ATA DISK drive hdd: HITACHI GD-2000, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive I rebuilt this pc because the old HD died. MB, CPU and RAM are known good, because it came out of my machine when I upgraded. I am running unstable with linux-image-2.6.16-1-k7 and the nvidia-image-2.6.16-1-k7. In any case, I am getting what appear to be kernel panics, though they are not making it into syslog. I have had two panics that I have information on, the first on 17 May: May 17 23:35:33 sutherland kernel: ------------[ cut here ]------------ May 17 23:35:33 sutherland kernel: kernel BUG at lib/prio_tree.c:149!
