a little more information? what was ocurring just before?

something's wrong w/ the kernel :\ if it keeps happening, make sure you have the right kernel, and recompile Thanks, -Tom

Has to be a bug. What Linux are you running? Get the latest Linux from http://www.kernel.org, either 2.4 or 2.6, depending on what you're currently using. What the hell is RH AS 2.1 btw? There are 10 kinds of people, those who count in binary and those who don't.
