my box has been crashing lately
and i'm not sure if this has anythign to do with it

it keeps printing that out in /var/log/messages severy few seconds

Try actually searching google then come back and tell us what you've come up with.

Is that some sort of Halflife/Counter-strike (whatever I don't play them) process 'hlds'?

yes

Probably you would want to start troubleshooting that particular process I would imagine. Like not starting it up and seeing if the thing still oopses. If it doesn't oops then you have at least some idea (probably) of what is causing that.


Edit:

Kind of reminds me of a song from the all time greatest band:

Dark star crashes
Pouring its light into ashes
Reason tatters
The forces tear loose from the axis
Searchlight casting
For faults in the clouds of delusion


--Robert Hunter ;)

Jeff

haha

seeing as i have no idea what any of that means
searching google will do nothing for me.

Its probably a counterstrike issue. Search around for cs segfaults. I play Hunt the Wumpus -- it never segfaults.

Start searching with "Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference"

DarkStar Linux on your box?

Monte

uh.. what?

what is darkstar linux lol

darkstar is the HOSTNAME of the machine

Linux is a sourceforge project to administer Linux, It was just started and not much on it tho, just thought you might have been working on the development of it is all.

Doesn't Slackware have darkstar as the host name by default? ;)

yep thats why i picked it as darkstar becuase i like slackware :)

*shamefully admits that its not slackware though* :(

Just curious,

What was the final diagnosis (if there has been) on that issue you were having.

Jeff
