Yes, joe is using the updated kernel. If you had even bothered to
read the message this has nothing to do with init scripts or
improper shutdowns. This has to do with linux locking up like
everyones favorite OS. That and the fact that linux does not
always recover well from these lock ups. For most of the newbies
here coming from the aforementioned OS, these lockups seem
normal. The truth is, it shouldn't be locking up at all. I have seen
at least 5 on my own box, saw two on two other boxes. Wild bill at
the linux bits has been plagued with all sorts of lockups(newbie) on
his athena box(using redhat I think). There is some talk on the
kernel mailing list about beefing up the file system a bit to recover
better from crashes. Doesn't this bother anyone at all? Maybe we
are rushing into untried grounds alittle, ey?
Joe
