I just build a new 2.6.15-mm1 with the same config as before excet for
the fact that I took out the EDAC support.
It doesn't stop the crash. It still crashes at the same spot, but in a
slightly different manner.
Switching to tty1 just before the crash allowed me to write down the
last bit of several pages of output (copied by hand, so I left out
addresses an offsets, it's quite reproducable though, so if you want
that info I'll crash again and write it down for you) - here's what I
managed to get :
