Try the kernel debugging patch[1], select NMI oopser for uniprocessor
if your box is UP and reproduce the problem. The UP NMI oopser should
drop into kdb after 5 seconds and you can use the bt command to find
out where your system is hanging. You will have to compile for a
serial console[2] and run a null modem to a second machine to get into
kdb, kdb requires a text or serial console and is not usable under X.
Feel free to contact me off list if you have any problems with kdb.

and earlier are in the old directory.
