This is a link to the picture of the screen when happened "kernel pannic" http://picpaste.com/img00005-73m0unO0.jpg. The soft of the server is very old - about 7 years, and there were no problems till now, the kernel should be above 2.6.10, if it is important i could get the exact number, but i think the problem should be broken hardware. I remembered that my DVD is not sane, but never caused such problems before, could it be the reason for this panic ? Thanks. Best Regards.

But we need to have the exact screen dump of when the kernel panic happens in order to know what is causing it and whether it comes from the sata_via thing or whether it is something else. So, do you have the whole panic message in the kernel log somewhere? Here's an example of a complete panic message: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ubuntu-63/frequent-kernel-panic-in-ubuntu7-04-a-562897/ If you don't have it in the logs, try reproducing the issue and when the kernel panics, make a photo of the screen with a digital camera and upload the screenshot somewhere. Make sure it is readable. Also, what kernel are you running, have you tried the latest (3.5) to see whether you still can trigger the panic? Can you send full dmesg of your kernel? Thanks. -- Regards/Gruss, Boris. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
