I believe that I *have* seen this happen to me. I'm using a Compaq R3000 laptop with AMD-64 CPU and Gentoo with kernel 2.6.24-rc6-mm1. A few days ago I crashed it twice in a row by trying to load my Comics bookmarks as tabs (87 entries) in 32-bit Firefox. I only got 1 and 3/4ths lines output by netconsole and it mentioned a function with 32-something in the name. Later tonight I can try loading the tabs in Firefox again to see if it will reproduce for a 3rd time. I also have to say that the NMI watchdog, supposedly Non-Maskable, hardly *ever* works for me. I don't believe that whatever events reset the dog actually matter to the end user. Perhaps its still processing interrupts and running a timer loop but if nothing can read or write disk, net, netlink or other device IO, I don't believe the system can actually claim to be working. -- Zan Lynx <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
