1 I'm getting a kernel oops from gentoo-sources kernel 2.4.22-gentoo-r5.
2
3 I have submitted a bug with lots of detail at
4
5 http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38648
6
7 However, I would like some folks' impressions who might have run across
8 similar things. The machine boots just fine despite the oops message,
9 which comes 3 times during boot. Is it safe to use the kernel despite
10 the oops? Or should I rely on my old kernel, which is really old and
11 which I would really like to update?
12
13 Any advice / war stories would be appreciated.
