DPT Problem?
I have a 2u rack mount intel server with the following ...

The Problem:
The systems seems unstable and is crashing all the time. This is the error
i am getting.
[spinchat@nimbus:~/chatserver]$ Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer
dereferenceat virtual address 0000000
printing eip:

*pde = 0000000

EIP: 0010:[<c.... { cut out the rest is a stack dump )
...
Kernel panic: Attemted to kill the idle task!
In idle task - not synching
I am not sure why this is happening. I thought the EATA drivers for DPT
cards were stable.
Anyone have this issue ..? or Ideas suggestions ...all will be appreciated.
