[ale] SMP Oops error

[Allen, Paula J.]

This Redhat 6.0 machine freezes in the afternoons after running for several
hours.  They get the message below on the console.  A search of the "Aiee,
killing interrupt handler" error message returned some postings with the
exact same error, with not much in the way of solutions.  Most were SMP
machines.  The machine has dual Pentuim Pro 200s and it has 256mb RAM.  Any
advice would be appreciated ..pj

Hi Paula and Mike, 


We still have the problem with Mail server hang up in the afternoon. This
morning I found this following messages:
