They happen in various functions that seem to involve a disk write. The system was previously running for over a year and a half on various kernel "models" without ever a hang, panic, or system strangeness. Now, every 3 to 10 days I get a reboot due to some panic. Has anyone else had any trouble like this? I use cvsup to keep sources up to date and I'm wondering if it's possible to sync my tree to specific dates in order to find the piece of code that's causing this. At first I though I was having memory problems but if I load my old 2.1.5 kernel it runs smoothly. The only non-standard stuff running are quotas and the ccd driver.
