Blew sky high. Booted stock 2.4.3-ac3, K7 optimizations, init=/bin/sh. First time it went fine for quite some time (10-15 mins, find / -print, etc) and then locked up hard on "open". Second time, it oops'd before hardlocking (which I copied out by hand.) The oops and decode are attached. On Fr

Several of us on the list had the same/similar problems. AFAIK the only fix at this point is to run w/ no more than K6 optimizations. Check the archives for -> Only 10 MB/sec with via 82c686b (towards the end of the thread) -> thunderbird 1.2G + kk266 + 2.4.x oops It seems to be something wierd
