Update:
The machine has been running 2.4.21-15.0.2 since yesterday and hasn't crashed yet. I see nothing wrong so far. As there is no indication of hardware problems, I'm thinking something is hokie with the 15.0.3 kernel.
Seeing the Linux kernel crash is not a familiar experience. I've only seen it crash from hardware failure or really bad proprietary modules (drivers).
Thoughts? Comments?
