It turned out that the real reason for the kernel oops I reported previously was a defect in one of the memory modules in my SMP server. Unfortunately this defect first showed up in coincidence with other problems. So the whole picture has been a little bit confusing to me and maybe also to other people. So by now I maybe add another data point to this story. My second SMP-server (450 MHz PII, kernel 2.2.3) is up and running since 78 days without showing any problems together with xntpd. My to Jeff is now: Do you use PII ore PIII prozessors in your system and have you considered any memory defects? /Herbert - Linux SMP list: FIRST see FAQ at http://www.irisa.fr/prive/mentre/smp-faq/ To Unsubscribe: send "unsubscribe linux-smp" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
