I don't think anybody's going to be able to shoot that bug report
without more

still ping/ssh/etc on the net? Is it totally locked up? Any disk

lights left on/flickering, indicating life? Can you get a serial
console or
kgdb-ethernet or something to see if there's an oops/panic?
Hmm, I'll test those bk-snapshots and when it locks up, I'll try to
So, I tried 2.6.2-rc1-bk1 and it locks up. How can I find out which
patches it incorporated, so that I can filter out that bugger? (more see
down, this time it was type 2)
I dunno about kgdb-ethernet (but I'll see whether I'll understand it)
nor do I have a serial console.
Maybe it is a nforce2 issue then. I think it is ACPI specific. I'll also
try compiling latest kernel without ACPI and report back.
I tried 2.6.3-rc1-mm1 without ACPI and it lock up up (type 1). I now can
tell about two type of lock-up (maybe due to the same cause):
1) complete freeze, nothing possible, not able to read machine from
network, must use reset button
2) freeze, but only mouse movement (nothing reacts though, keyboard
neither) is possibel and log is flooded with error I posted, I can still
reach machine via network and do a gracefull shutdown (killing X wasn't
passible)
