FYI.
I have a box here that was originally running 2.4.x. I updated to 2.6.x a few months ago, and all was well. Then I started to get curious oops, none of them the same.
I started to suspect NFS, as I use an old 486 to hold the web pages to serve to the box via NFS... the oops occurred every Saturday morning @ 4:02. Lead to me think it was some sort of cron.weekly issue with the disc activity and file access or the like, or whatever... I didn't know - I was on a fishing exercise (and a lot of searching on the LKML)
But, after talking to a member of the HantsLUG, and showing logs and stuff, he brought up at the swap size. This box was once 64Mb, but is now 128Mb - with 128Mb swap. I created an additional swap file (256Mb), and (touch wood), no oops since, all heathly :) I never looked at this before, as swap was never used _during_ normal running of the box, but as he said maybe the cron.weekly ran a lot of stuff that did use it up...
