Kernel oops in updated Woody 2.4.19 kernel
Hello,
I'm running a Debian Woody system. I recently updated the kernel to
the latest Debian-packaged kernel-source-2.4.19. This morning, the
server crashed with a kernel oops. The function it crashed in is
"may_ptrace_attach", one of the functions affected by the recent
upgrade. I've included the Oops report below.
For now we're running with the older 2.4.19 kernel, but I'd really
like the security updates in the newer release.
Has anybody else seen this error? Is filing a bug report the best way
to try and get the problem fixed, or is there something else I should
try?
Thanks!
----Scott.
