[CentOS] Re: PF_RING crashed the CentOS5 - BUG: soft lockup - CPU#7

Hi all,

The PF_RING seems not to work smoothly in CentOS 5. Several day before, I patched the kernel 2.6.25.3 and installed the PF_RING-patched kernel in my CentOS5. Based on the PF_RING, I developed my program to capture the network packages. I wished it can work until the machine power is off. Unforturnately, no matter how to adjust my program, whole system can not run more than 48 hours. Finally, whole system crashed and syslogd said it found the following kernel output.

PF_RING seems to be used for the newest version of ntop for faster packet capture and analysis. Is that what you are trying to accomplish? Or did I just get a bad google?
