Rebooted the machine again to 2.6.32-5-486 with i915 blacklisted, and got this crash during boot (even before the handoff to init): Begin: Running /scripts/local-bottom ... done. done.

INIT: version 2.88 booting Starting the hotplug events dispatcher: udevd[ 8.961493] udev[370]: starting version 164 Any ideas? I think this safely rules out i915 as the cause. Also, i need to retract my claim that it was running the lenny kernel for years until just recently, now that i've inspected the logs from the machine more closely. It looks like it was running as a lenny xen system up until Feb. 17, 2011, at which point it switched to running a squeeze stack based on xen-hypervisor-4.0-i386 (v. 4.0-2) and linux-image-2.6.32-5-xen-686 (v. 2.6.32-30). This combination ran on this hardware for over a year (i know, i know) without trouble, and crashed on March 9th with this message: Mar 9 08:04:17 monkey kernel: [33331163.489222] BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at 04247c8b Mar 9 08:04:17 monkey kernel: [33331163.489252] IP: [<04247c8b>] 0x4247c8b Mar 9 08:04:17 monkey kernel: [33331163.489273] *pdpt = 0000000001469001 *pde = 0000000000000000 Mar 9 08:04:17 monkey kernel: [33331163.489293] Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP Mar 9 08:04:17 monkey kernel: [33331163.489310] last sysfs file: /sys/devices/virtual/block/md1/md/mismatch_cnt Mar 9 08:04:17 monkey kernel: [33331163.489324] Modules linked in: xt_state iptable_mangle xt_physdev iptable_filter ipt_MASQUERADE ipt_REDIRECT xt_tcpudp iptable_nat nf_nat nf_conntrack_ipv4 nf_conntrack nf_defrag_ipv4 ip_tables x_tables bridge stp xen_evtchn xenfs dummy loop snd_intel8x0 snd_ac97_codec i915 ac97_bus drm_kms_helper snd_pcm snd_timer i2c_i801 drm snd pl2303 i2c_algo_bit soundcore evdev parport_pc pcspkr psmouse processor usbserial parport video acpi_processor serio_raw shpchp rng_core snd_page_alloc i2c_core output pci_hotplug button ext3 jbd mbcache dm_mod raid1 md_mod sd_mod crc_t10dif ata_generic tg3 3c59x ata_piix floppy tulip uhci_hcd mii libphy libata ehci_hcd scsi_mod usbcore nls_base thermal thermal_sys [last unloaded: scsi_wait_scan] Mar 9 08:04:17 monkey kernel: [33331163.489673] Mar 9 08:04:17 monkey kernel: [33331163.489684] Pid: 5807, comm: sshd Not tainted (2.6.32-5-xen-686 #1) HP d530 SFF(DG784A) Mar 9 08:04:17 monkey kernel: [33331163.489697] EIP: 0061:[<04247c8b>] EFLAGS: 00210206 CPU: 0 Mar 9 08:04:17 monkey kernel: [33331163.489711] EIP is at 0x4247c8b Mar 9 08:04:17 monkey kernel: [33331163.489721] EAX: cf28f240 EBX: cf28f240 ECX: cf28fea0 EDX: 04247c8b Mar 9 08:04:17 monkey kernel: [33331163.489732] ESI: cf28f5a0 EDI: cf28f240 EBP: cea53434 ESP: cdc55f24 Mar 9 08:04:17 monkey kernel: [33331163.489744] DS: 007b ES: 007b FS: 00d8 GS: 00e0 SS: 0069 Mar 9 08:04:17 monkey kernel: [33331163.489757] Process sshd (pid: 5807, ti=cdc54000 task=cef83740 task.ti=cdc54000) Mar 9 08:04:17 monkey kernel: [33331163.489769] Stack: Mar 9 08:04:17 monkey kernel: [33331163.489776] c10a66a4 c2f93b58 cea53400 c10a67d0 00000000 000000ba c2f93b58 cea53400 Mar 9 08:04:17 monkey kernel: [33331163.489814] <0> cef83740 cea53400 c103573a 00000000 c1038b42 c2a2a780 c128eaf0 c2a2a780 Mar 9 08:04:17 monkey kernel: [33331163.489855] <0> cef83740 0000ff00 0000ff00 c103a2eb 00000001 00000004 cdc55fb4 b7868810 Mar 9 08:04:17 monkey kernel: [33331163.489900] Call Trace: Mar 9 08:04:17 monkey kernel: [33331163.489917] [<c10a66a4>] ? remove_vma+0x1e/0x48 Mar 9 08:04:17 monkey kernel: [33331163.489932] [<c10a67d0>] ? exit_mmap+0x102/0x119 Mar 9 08:04:17 monkey kernel: [33331163.489948] [<c103573a>] ? mmput+0x37/0xa9 Mar 9 08:04:17 monkey kernel: [33331163.489963] [<c1038b42>] ? exit_mm+0xd5/0xdc Mar 9 08:04:17 monkey kernel: [33331163.489978] [<c128eaf0>] ? _spin_lock_irq+0xb/0x21 Mar 9 08:04:17 monkey kernel: [33331163.489992] [<c103a2eb>] ? do_exit+0x1a3/0x5cd Mar 9 08:04:17 monkey kernel: [33331163.490007] [<c1290870>] ? do_page_fault+0x2f1/0x307 Mar 9 08:04:17 monkey kernel: [33331163.490021] [<c103a774>] ? do_group_exit+0x5f/0x82 Mar 9 08:04:17 monkey kernel: [33331163.490034] [<c103a7a8>] ? sys_exit_group+0x11/0x14 Mar 9 08:04:17 monkey kernel: [33331163.490049] [<c1008f9c>] ? syscall_call+0x7/0xb Mar 9 08:04:17 monkey kernel: [33331163.490059] Code: Bad EIP value.
