Oops from 2.4.17-rc2 on Alpha

Oops from 2.4.17-rc2 on Alpha

[Michal Jaegermann]

At last I managed to catch one which seems to make some sense.
Here it goes:

     -k /proc/ksyms (default)

     -m /boot/System.map-2.4.17-rc2 (specified)

Any ideas?

Because of this "Bcache double-bit error on Dcache fill at 0x8077C8C0"
this can be dismissed as a hardware error; and that as well may be.
There is a catch, though.  2.4.5-ac8 kernel on the same hardware
does not show any issues of that sort - at least so far.

With 2.4.17rc2 I also got, once, "Trying to vfree() nonexistent vm area
(0000050090000000)".  This, probably, when shutting down a network.
