OK...
a 'tar xvfz myFile.tar.gz' results in the following in /var/log/syslog
May 1 05:58:11 mnemosyne kernel: Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000 May 1 05:58:11 mnemosyne kernel: current->tss.cr3 = 01e55000, %cr3 = 01e55000 May 1 05:58:11 mnemosyne kernel: *pde = 00000000
however this time I'm using a different file. I can however sucessfully do the following gzip -d ; tar xvf myFile.tar.gz
Don't know if that gives anyone any hints... I haven't changed any software on the system recently so I don't think it can be a bad tar or gzip binary. I get the same for root and non-privileged users.
thanks again.
Jamie...
