Not reproducible at all, at least it has not happened again. Guess it may have been unrelated to rc3. I had rebooted with a change in the BIOS config, but that was only to change the active video controller. Don't know how that could affect this. OTOH, I pulled that video card out of the system later and that solved a longstanding issue I've had with powering off this system [1]... I did find one other soft reset in my kernel logs (which go back to Okt 2006, 2.6.18); that was on Aug 1 with 2.6.22, but after a different error: kernel: ata3.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action0x2 frozen kernel: ata3.00: cmd a0/00:00:00:00:20/00:00:00:00:00/a0 tag 0 cdb 0x1b data 0 kernel: res 40/00:03:00:00:20/00:00:00:00:00/a0 Emask 0x4 (timeout) kernel: ata3: soft resetting port kernel: ata3: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 300) kernel: ata3.00: configured for UDMA/66 kernel: ata3: EH complete As ata3 is a DVD-RW, I'm a bit less concerned about that one.
