Notes
(0006001) xaox (reporter) 2007-09-13 14:36	Another crash on the same machine: RIP [<address>] rt_run_flush+0x81/0xb8 RSP <address> CR2: address <0>Kernel panic - not syncing: Faltal excption Same kernel panic, different function. I have unloaded the sata_via and libata kernel modules based on a post I found Googleing for this problem.

(0006041) xaox (reporter) 2007-09-21 14:47	Yet another crash. RIP [<address>] __dentry_open+0x7e/0x1dc RSP <address> CR2: address <0>Kernel panic - not syncing: Faltal excption Any ideas on how to debug this?

(0006108) xaox (reporter) 2007-10-09 13:23	I think I have figured out the problem. I disabled the onboard VIA Velocity network card and replaced it with a Netgear 10/100 (tulip) in a PCI slot. The system has now been running for 6 days. The problem is either a bad hardware or a bad driver. Since I had random crashes on another Abit AV8 running CentOS 5, I think it is a driver problem.

(0008034) xaox (reporter) 2008-09-23 16:23	I continued to have kernel panics even after disabling the onboard NIC, but they were less frequent. I had pretty much given up on finding the cause of the kernel panics. I have the same motherboard on a workstation and last week I tried to install Ubuntu 8.04 and ran into frequent crashes. In the process of debugging the issue I installed the latest BIOS: 28 (5/7/2006). It cured the crashes. I have installed the new BIOS on the server and have switched back to using the onboard NIC. So far no crashes.

(0013118) PowerLinux (reporter) 2011-08-16 01:24	I installed V-box yesterday,So Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception .Today I uninstalled it ,and Success

(0013119) PowerLinux (reporter) 2011-08-16 01:25	But My os is CentOS 6.0
