Gentlemen, If you have a free moment sometime, would like to discuss your recommendations on finding out why my RH 7.3 (kernel 2.4.18-x) is executing kernel panics 1 or more times per day. The screen dump (to /dev/console) shows some cryptic stuff and names of some drivers that appear related to my SCSI card (2940 W/UW) and scsi device 4 (4 GB Barracuda drive). It is also saying that is panicked because the interrupt handler is not synching. I tried modifying syslog.conf to dump all kernel messages to a file (kern.* /var/log/kernel) But upon reboot, I all get in the file are the messages from the reboot...not helpful. I am/was thinking the drive is going bad, but upon umounting it last night, this morning still showed a kernel panic. I thought it was the disk because of the SCSI info, and the dumps seemed to happen almost every time I accessed the dirs/files on that disk and its single partition. All disks are running ext3 as the file system. Fsck is not discovering any badness on the drive (except upon reboots to recover from the nasty halt). I would love to print out the console screen right after the dump, but have not found it in any of the logs, and am not sure how to prevent overwriting the file from syslog. Do I need to build a debugging kernel and try to force a dump (all though I am still unsure what causes it).
