[Samba] samba and a kernel oops on nfsd

[Don Shesnicky]

Sorry to parachute in here with an emergency question but I do have a 
big problem and I want to eliminate samba as a possibility. I have a
redhat 7.2 
server that has been solid until last Wed. On that day I had installed
samba 
on it from the redhat rpms. That night it went down with a kernel oops
on nfsd.
I shutdown samba but left it installed. 
 
It has gone down again today but the messages file blanks out I would
guess 
at the time it went down, similar characteristics though - no nfs
serving of disks
and system seems partially up - I can telnet to the apache web port and
get a
connection but no pages, I can ftp to it and get a "connected to xxxxx"
but no
actual login prompt. 
 
Could the samba install be related or still affecting this system in
some way?
 
Thanks,
Don
