Hello: My RedHat 7.3 machine just locked up and I could not reboot it. I had to punch the reset button. Here is what I found in the /var/log/messages file: May 19 12:50:16 server1 kernel: Assertion failure in journal_commit_transaction() at commit.c:535: "buffer_jdirty(bh)" May 19 12:50:16 server1 kernel: ------------[ cut here ]------------ May 19 12:50:16 server1 kernel: kernel BUG at commit.c:535!
