System halt/oops during during first login after boot on 2.3.11-pre6.
[2.] Full description of the problem/report:
As I was booting into 2.3.11-pre6, the system suddenly oopsed. The
oops was only partially written to /var/log/messages. I believe a
second oops related to "init" showed up on the screen immediately after.
As good news, the "bad page middle" errors didn't show up... :-)
I realize that the "egcs" below may make this less than 100% useful,
but I figured a half useful report might be better than none.
I'm not able to try this again right now and won't be able to
do more testing until late this evening; the laptop is needed for the
day job... When I do, I'll hand copy any oopses and resbumit this.
[3.] Keywords (i.e., modules, networking, kernel):
boot, oops, cold hang (no sysrq)
[4.] Kernel version (from /proc/version):
Actually, this is from 2.3.10, but the same compiler was used for
the 2.3.10+2.3.11-pre6 that had trouble.

[5.] Output of Oops.. message (if applicable) with symbolic information
resolved (see Documentation/oops-tracing.txt)
The oops in /var/log/messages was truncated. Here's all I have:

[X.] Other notes, patches, fixes, workarounds:
Toshiba laptop with APM enabled, compiled UP, 40M, single 4G IDE.
Straight console, hadn't gotten to X.
Pcmcia-cs didn't compile correctly. It's possible it _was_ loaded
from an old compiled version, but no pcmcia cards were in the slots.
