Hi Mark, I see nothing in these logs accusing the i2c subsystem nor any hardware monitoring driver. The message "w83781d-isa 9191-0290: Starting device update" happens several seconds after the oops, I don't think it is related, it simply suggests that the submitter has some application polling the hardware monitoring device. Providing that the stack trace is correct, I would rather suspect the ext3 filesystem driver: > Jan 2 17:51:03 conquest3 kernel: [get_new_inode_fast+31/304] get_new_inode_fast+0x1f/0x130 > Jan 2 17:51:03 conquest3 kernel: [iget_locked+172/240] iget_locked+0xac/0xf0 > Jan 2 17:51:03 conquest3 kernel: [ext3_lookup+107/208] ext3_lookup+0x6b/0xd0 Thanks, -- Jean Delvare
