Kernel panics
Dear all,
On one of the machines here, which is more or less a clone of other
linux machines, I keep getting kernel panics at times of low activity
(e.g. 6 in the morning). The /var/log/messages file contains lines
like:
Apr 24 08:23:00 bobbin kernel: general protection: 0000

after which the computer hangs. Is this a hardware fault or some
problem with BIOS config? Any help is appreciated since my knowledge
of Linux stops well short of kernel internals.
