Ah, they're playing rugby. Funny, must be the Seven Nations Championship [1] 
now, and I'd not noticed.

Eeep eep,

Re: [PATCH][RFC] Make /proc/ chmod'able

Xen, UML, VM, VMware, separate computers
http://linux-vserver.org/ would also seem to be an excellent match.

The kernel upgrade did not 
help... Would an update to an 2.6 kernel help or should I better turn 
hyperthreading off?
My experience is running _modified_ 2.4 kernels. Turning HT off solved 
the problem here. Of course YMMV if the root cause is different.

I have no experience of running HT on 2.6. My hunch would be that more 
HT users run 2.6 than 2.4 nowadays, so the problem would've been raised 
by now? If so your choice depends on whether the joint benefits of HT 
and of 2.6 outweigh any effort of moving to 2.6.

Any help will be appreciated.

Did help myself. Seems to work.

ksymoops 2.4.5 on i686 2.4.26-msi1.  Options used

Updated to 2.4.29, keeping my kernel config. No panic since then (2 weeks) 
which seems to be a drastic decrease of the panics/week ratio ;).
Sorry, didn't spot your previous email.
I've not set aside time to investigate further, but turning HT off made 
the problem go away. Would be interested to hear further reports.
