Greetings,

Just want (? :-) to report a solid lockup of 2.1.40 SMP. I was reading
news without problems, but then decided to start netscape while waiting
for the next group to be threaded. Soon after netscape started
downloading my "start page" everything locked up solid.

Next to nothing in the log files, apart from:

May 27 23:01:28 jebril kernel: Unknown interrupt

which may nog even be related to the actual crash.

System spec:

Tyan Tomcat II, 2 * P166, AHA 2940AU (using the stock driver, not one
of the experimental ones), SB32 (but not currently in use), ...

simple dial-up PPP connection (ppp and slhc loaded as a module)

Linux 2.1.40, latest of everything w.r.t. software.

MCE
