Subject: Oops in Kernel 2.4.21-rc1

Hello,
I encountered a Kernel oops on two different PCs, both a configured
identical. The system uses an ISDN connection to an Internet ISP and then
establishes a VPN tunnel based on PPTP.
As far as I can see in /var/log/messages the problem occurred on both
system at the same time at 00:15, but not at the same day and not every
day. No special program is running at that time. Basically it is a SuSE 7.3
distribution, I made a Kernel upgrade.
Hardware is a Fujitsu Siemens N300 PC with an IDE (7200 Rpm), Intel 845GI
Motherboard, an ISDN PBX connected via USB to dial-up, the connection
wasn't established when the system oopsed.
Attached are some information.
(See attached file: info.txt)(See attached file: oops.log)

You are using SuSE 7.3, which leads me to the assumption that the
nightly cronjob at 00:15 is triggering this. One of the culprits I can
imagine is the updatedb run at that time. However, this is only
guesswork. The Oops itself does not give me any idea. Perhaps someone
else can help.

Exchange the USB/ISDN part with a pci card and re-try with kernel -rc4.

Tell us if that works.
