Hello, sorry for asking you about an old version of kernel and netfilter, but now i'm not able to upgrade our server : We have a debian lenny with asterisk 1.4 serving about 30 simultaneous calls and 100 peers.

(sip_help, ipv4_confirm ..) What could be the cause ? (i repeat : there was very low traffic) My debian box has an public ip. Can i unload safely nf_conntrack_sip module without any problem in order to avoid this oops in the future ? Thanks a lot for you replies.. !!
