i have a server that Oopsed 3 nights in a row at nearly the same time
04:04:{22,26,22} each /second/ night (presumably nightly locate
update) in the same place: in submit_bh while in kswapd.
kernel in question is test12.
machine is K6-233 with a DAC960 that does NFS/dialup/iptables
serving.
Test13-pre3 Ooopses on bootup in nfsd, so I've gone back to test10.
Here are the oopses after being put through ksymoops:
