folx, on 2.4.0-test6 i got a bunch of the following log messages and then the console went dead (well, power-saving monitor and no amount of activity on the keyboard or mouse made it wake up), but the machine still responded to pings (could not connect w/ telnet or ssh or rlogin). does this look like a genuine hw problem or should i upgrade to a newer 2.4.0 test kernel? i'm happy to do any troubleshooting suggested. log messages (lots and lots of them. they all look just like this): Nov 12 06:43:30 zapata kernel: APIC error interrupt on CPU#0, should never happen.
