Subject: list_del corruption with fedora 6 kernels (fc5 was ok)

Hi,

these trigger about 1-2 times per week at random times. I dont see a
pattern, one time it happened after plugging in the USB headphone, another
time it happened while the machine was more or less idle.

machine does not reboot automatically ( /proc/sys/kernel/panic is set to 20)

most of the time the panic does not make it into the syslog but I have been lucky
three times.

how to track this down?

Greetings,
Karl
