Re: snort causing kernel-panic ?

["Edwin Pua" <edwin1118 () hotmail com>]

Hi,
 I'm receiving these logs in my linux box after running snort in NIDS mode. 
Any idea?

Jan 29 13:04:52 localhost kernel:   Transmit list 00000000 vs. cf2aa440.
Jan 29 13:04:52 localhost kernel:   0: @cf2aa200  length 8000004a status 
0001004a
Jan 29 13:04:52 localhost kernel:   1: @cf2aa240  length 8000004a status 
0001004a
Jan 29 13:04:52 localhost kernel:   2: @cf2aa280  length 8000004a status 
0001004a
Jan 29 13:04:52 localhost kernel:   3: @cf2aa2c0  length 8000004a
