Re: Oops/Crash with 2.4.17 and 2.4.18 kernels

[John Schmerge]

Thanks for the insight... It turns out that you're conjecture seems to be
correct. Boy, I feel like a n00b... I had run memtest86 after first noticing
these problems and everything seemed ok, but after a good long run last night,
I started to see the failures. Sigh. Looks like i have either a bad mobo or a
bad processor.

Thanks again,
John
