Hi all,
I'm having a bit of a problem with a CentOS box. It ocasionally crashes/freezes. I configured to send all kernel logging to a remote box so I've been able to catch one kernel crash:

[root@ioana ~]# rpm -qa|grep kernel kernel-utils-2.4-13.1.80 kernel-2.6.9-34.EL kernel-devel-2.6.9-34.EL
I tried searching for the file that was reported to contain the bug, but I found nothing: [root@ioana ~]# find /usr/src/kernels/2.6.9-34.EL-i686 -name ldt.c [root@ioana ~]#
Does anybody know what is going on? What can I do to debug this... ?
TIA, Alex
