Your kernel is tainted by binary-only kernel modules. Can you reproduce this without these modules loaded?
VMware? _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
I forgot in my first posting to mention that the problem has nothing to do with the kernel being tainted (due to VMware server).
I installed VMware server _after_ being faced with the crashes, to give the Java user a "sandbox" which s/he could crash without taking down the real server. Only then I discovered that VMware server has a memory limitation to 3600MB (I guess because it's not a 64bit application).
I see exactly the same crash with a non-tainted kernel.
I take the opportunity to add that I just ran memtest86+ for 20 hours, without any indication of a hardware (memory) problem.
