PROBLEM: IM Kernel Failure 12/11/07

From: martinpeterclarke@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Date: Wed Nov 14 2007 - 11:09:26 EST


This is the 5th attempt to email you! I keep being Greylisted! I've
extracted the minimal info from a zip which may be failing.

I've had to send it from my personal Tiscali account.

Regards
Martin

[1.] One line summary of the problem:

System crashed the night of Monday Nov 12 at 22:01

[2.] Full description of the problem/report:

There is a cronjob at that time

00 22 * * * . /usr/local/bin/backup_RCP_CVSROOT.sh >
/usr/local/bin/cvs_backup.log 2>&1

[3.] Keywords (i.e., modules, networking, kernel):

kernel

[4.] Kernel version (from /proc/version):

Linux version 2.4.9-e.38smp (bhcompile@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) (gcc
version 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.2 2.96-124.7.2)) #1 SMP Wed Feb
11 00:09:01 EST 2004

[5.] Output of Oops.. message (if applicable) with symbolic
information resolved (see Documentation/oops-tracing.txt)

NO OOPS'ES !

vi ./usr/src/linux-2.4.9-e.3/Documentation/oops-tracing.txt

will investigate ... not ... intuitive at first read!

[6.] A small shell script or example program which triggers the
problem (if possible)

N/A

[7.] Environment

Er ... a Dell box I think!

[7.1.] Software (add the output of the ver_linux script here)

[root@pleco /]# sh ./usr/src/linux-2.4.9-e.3/scripts/ver_linux

If some fields are empty or look unusual you may have an old version.

Compare to the current minimal requirements in Documentation/Changes.
