Well, I am now running a non-tainted 2.6.0-mm1 and the problems
continue (without nvidia and vmware modules). 

Just an hour ago, all new processes created in X exited with
segmentation faults. Processes could be run on the console though
(except for startx). There were no oops messages.

However, in the logs I get the following errors <I am just
posting a summary, there is a seperate line for each of the minor
numbers indicated in the ranges> :

-=-=-=

Dec 27 13:07:21 home modprobe: FATAL: Module char_major_4_[72-92] not
found.

Dec 27 13:07:21 home modprobe: FATAL: Module serial not found. 
<This one repeats after each of the previous messages.>

Dec 27 13:07:22 home modprobe: FATAL: Module char_major_188_[0-15] not
found. 

Dec 27 13:07:22 home modprobe: FATAL: Module char_major_180_[0-15] not
found. 

=-=-=-

These messages have coming right through 2.6.0-testX without much
incident.

Apart from the above, the only thing that seems out of place in the
logs is:

-=-=
Dec 27 13:15:06 home kernel: atkbd.c: Unknown key released (translated
set 2, code 0x7a on isa0060/serio0).  

Dec 27 13:15:06 home kernel: atkbd.c: Unknown key released (translated
set 2, code 0x7a on isa0060/serio0).
-=-=

Also, yesterday (when running the tainted kernel), I got an oops
message every time a new process was created, whether in X or
the console. I also got an oops for each service that was shut down
while rebooting!

I am attaching my config file from :
`gunzip -c /proc/config.gz | cat | grep ^C > config.txt`

I am also attaching the outout of lspci -vv.

Please CC me any replies as I am not subscribed to the list.
