I had tha same problem and traced it down to a problem with
the ksyms.
cat /proc/ksyms GIVES A OOPS
The oops happens in kernel/modules.c
I tried make mrproper and insalled no modules. The only thing I
switched on is the ne2000 driver and nfsroot. (I need this for
booting)
Who else has this problem?
