That's interesting ! It looks like a HW error (machine check is usually caused by a device reporting a HW failure, or the kernel trying to do IO to non-existing devices). Do you have the System.map that corresponds to this kernel ? It's needed to decode the numbers above. > (sorry about the [EMAIL PROTECTED]&*()_+=- word wrap) > > Before, I only got this one occasionally; now I get it every time. > It happens immediately after the two SCSI disks are checked, so it's > probably related to the SCSI controller.
