Machine two: booted on 2.1.50 Friday morning. Monday morning found
an oops on the console. Machine still functional, at least until I
tried to build ksymoops to decode the oops :-). Machine locked up
in a manner identical to machine one -- could switch VCs, but couldn't
input anything on any of them. I could ping the machine from elsewhere
on the network, but couldn't login remotely.
Here's the oops from machine two and the corresponding ksymoops output:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000
current->tss.cr3 = 01dc0000, |r3 = 01dc0000
