Hi,
I came home this afternoon and experienced something that I have never
seen with linux. My computer was completely dead, no speech and
nonresponsive keys. I thought it was WINDBLOWS!
Here is the pertinent information I obtained when I looked at
/var/log/messages:

Do you think this is worth passing on to the kernel development team? I
am running Redhat 8.0 kernel 2.4.18-14.
