I'm glad someone reported this
I've had this working in 2.3.4x or 5x. All the 2.3.99pre's I've tried crash
on startup. The board is a supermicro P6DBE (Dual ppro) with 2x 200 cpus.
I have an Intel EtherExpress 10/100 Management that boots via the network.
There are no drives on this machine.
I get an oops similar to below that is on CPU0. Then a few seconds later,
another oops after the NMI watchdog kicks in. I tried using nosmp as the
command line, nothing. The kernel gets it's IP, nfs server, mount source,
etc from a bootp server.
The lowest kernel I tried is 2.3.99pre4. When I get around to it, I'll try
the 3 before it.
You will need to decode this oops before it'll be useful.
I attached a bz2 copy of my .config
