The novelty of this thing has worn off. Guys, please let's not release 2.6.18 in
this state.

So I guess the dwarf unwinder oopsed and wrecked our oops. Perhaps you'll
get better info with CONFIG_UNWIND_INFO=n, CONFIG_STACK_UNWIND=n.

Now, _perhaps_ it oopsed at "[<c047b609>] start_kernel+0x224/0x3a2".

eghm... typo.
[<c047d609>]

You
can look these things up in gdb or using addr2line, provided you have
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y.



(gdb) list *0xc047d609
0xc047d609 is in start_kernel (/usr/src/linux-work1/init/main.c:577).
572 cpuset_init_early();
573 mem_init();
574 kmem_cache_init();
575 setup_per_cpu_pageset();
576 numa_policy_init();
577 if (late_time_init)
578 late_time_init();
579 calibrate_delay();
580 pidmap_init();
581 pgtable_cache_init();

Regards,
Michal
