Dear All,
I selected CentOS5 in my works and installed them in two DELL PowerEdge1950.
However, a trouble blocked me during the machines run after two days.
The machines
crashed and the syslog said it got the following messages:

I choose CentOS because I believe it is the most stable OS in
commodity machines.
But I don't know how to do when facing the trouble.
The difference lies in that I patched a PF_RING patch in original
kernel and recompiled
the kernel to run my machines. I wonder whether the patched kernel
crashes the CentOS
because PF_RING automatically downloads the kernel codes from
www.kernel.org, but not
the one from www.centos.org? Or, the centOS holds the bugs in its distribution?
Hope somebody can given me some advices.
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Ian
