Hi. I am getting a very bad problem on my new kernel that I did after my last update. It gave me the following sequence over and over for a while, and then stopped with the messages, but the system crashed. I then went back to my old kernel which had been working for more than a month and got a couple of the same traces, but I hope its stopped, so I can write this message. A google search finds nothing relevant.
Here is what I get: Oct 13 02:34:40 ccs.covici.com kernel: bad: scheduling from the idle thread!

Any thoughts appreciated. -- Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it. The question is: How do you spend it? John Covici wb2una cov...@ccs.covici.com
