[1.] One line summary of the problem: Oops in schedule [2.] Full description of the problem/report: I am unsure of the actual cause. My machine is running Postfix and INN and both were killed when the oops occurred. These are the only two tasks that appear to have died. [3.] Keywords (i.e., modules, networking, kernel): kernel, oops, schedule, reschedule [4.] Kernel version (from /proc/version): Linux version 2.2.18 (root@gateway) (gcc version 2.7.2.3) #1 Mon Jan 8 01:42:03 EST 2001 [5.] Output of Oops ksymoops 2.3.7 on i586 2.2.18. Options used -V (default) -k /proc/ksyms (default) -l /proc/modules (default) -o /lib/modules/2.2.18/ (default) -m /usr/src/linux/System.map (default) Warning: You did not tell me where to find symbol information. I will assume that the log matches the kernel and modules that are running right now and I'll use the default options above for symbol resolution. If the current kernel and/or modules do not match the log, you can get more accurate output by telling me the kernel version and where to find map, modules, ksyms etc. ksymoops -h explains the options. Warning (compare_maps): ksyms_base symbol module_list_R__ver_module_list not found in System.map.
