Looks good from my house! I was getting GPFs out the wazoo
using ftape until p17. By the way, I don't know exactly
when, but I'm no longer getting randum oopses of the "Unable
to service virtual page request" variety either. One of
these days I'd like to know how to trouble shoot this stuff.
Is there a kit with proper utils (ksymoops, etc) and a
how-to?

Thanks
