kernel memory problem

[Theodore Alexandrov <theo@pdmi.ras.ru>]

Hello!

It seems I have a memory problem with old kernel (2.0.38).
Would you explain me it in details? Is it specific for 2.0.X kernel?

<<syslog>>

After that machine either goes into full stupor and ignores all input calls 
either lies down and only allows to reboot by `shutdown`.


Thank you in advance,
