Hi,
I´ve just installed slackware 10.0 without any problems.
But, the day after I´ve got many oops like this one:

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address
00000020
printing eip:
c0198c2e
*pde = 00000000

Is the problem reiserfs related? I´m just guessing but the row
"EIP is at reiserfs_clear_inode+0x1d/0x68" looks bad...

Anyone who can read this error message for me any maybe tell me what
is wrong. Is it hardware or software related?

Thanks!

it is possible that it may be related to reiserfs. however, i'd bet that
that it would be something beyond reiserfs' control, such as faulty drive,
buggy ide controller, etc.

Looks like hardware to me. Could be a harddrive problem, but the first line
of the error looks like it could also be bad RAM.
