No, It's IDE disk, with software RAID, and the kernel is 2.2.19 (with some
patches to fill to a cobalt machine)

I think the problem might happen when I begin to use the swap. But it will
show that there are some problems on the disk.
For You, if it's a HDD problem, the "bad block" might be in the place of
the disk you are not using since you reduce youe partition.

But now, I don't know, Larry said that it might be the memory or the CPU,
now the HDD ...

There is not a specific event when the line "Unable to handle kernel
paging request at virtual address 3b617b05" is in the log ?

Thanks for your help
