i am using the development sources 2.6.4

i get kernel panics randomly, sometime happens 2 o clock in the morning ,sometime during the afternoon.

and it always say on the screen
Code:
Fatal exception
In interrupt handler, kernel not syncing

something like that, those weren't the exact wording

and just now, I try to change the time on my machine with the command:

Code:
date 041209092004


and clicked enter ( i did this thru ssh), BOOM, my server is dead, totally dead!!

:?

Date problems...
So maybe you should try disabling the more freakish rtc (real time clock) and nvram options in the kernel config - it could be a problem there.
Or maybe an ACPI problem, or .. or...

Kernel config, yeah ;-)

Much more useful information, like stack backtrace, is usually printed right above that message. Any chance to see it?

it has a bunch of hex numbers and some text with it.
but since the kernel is already panicked, i couldn't have done anything but to turn it off and power on again. and the log doesnt log anything either.

so i will try to copy it down by hand later when i get home. :wink:
