I can get a kernel oops from intense disk writes/reads. On the other
hand, heavy CPU usage seems fine. So, I think there's something funky
about disk i/o as well.
If I thought earlier, before reformatting the disk, I would have saved
the contents of /var/log/. This would have saved any boot.log and other
logs.
Since one of the errors was related to not being able to open a core
device, it could be one of the special device files or something and
interaction with the 541 kernel.
I did not upgrade the mod-utils rpm or the libsoup rpm before the
filesystem errors. I had the latest of the other rpms installed and did
not revert to an earlier version of gawk. I read the earlier posts, but
did not revert this program downward.
