ooops report 2.4.20-xfs-CVS-2003-02-21_06:00_UTC

["Jeffrey E. Hundstad" <jeffrey.hundstad@xxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

We had a machine hang on us twice since upgrading from 2.4.18-xfs.  It 
ran for months without any problems.  We upgraded to 
2.4.20-xfs-CVS-2003-02-21_06:00_UTC and patched it for the ptrace 
vurnerablility.  When the machine hangs it has a VERY high load average 
~200 and as soon as you issue a disk-io request of any kind your process 
 hangs.  The hang has been happening during a cpio backup of the system.

This last time we caught some/most of an ooops.  I'll include the 
ksymoops output and the raw input. I think we may be able to glean more 
information from the report, but I'm not really familiar with the ooops 
output.  Let me know if I can do anything to make the report better.

Here's some info. about the computer.

CPU: Pentium III (Coppermine) x 2 x 667 MHz
Compiler: gcc version 2.95.4 20011002 (Debian prerelease)
Drives:  software raid1 - 2xMaxtor 4G160J8-ide drives (with the write 
cache turned off)
