If you mean if I was _untaring_ the kernel, then yes.

The system is not overclocked but after I had sent the message I
remembered that I had changed the bios settings a little bit. Reversing
those changes seems to help. But I had several oops with plain 2.1.131
which were in find_buffer too, so I did not suspect my hardware first
(Those oops happened even with the slow memory timings).
