Linux 2.6.10 is now well over 2 1/2 years old so forgive if my memory
on bugs that can cause machine checks is fading a little. You should
upgrade. REALLY.

A machine check exception will be generated if during a TLB lookup (for
example during instruction fetch or loading/storing the data for a load
rsp. store instruction) multiple entries match.

Yes; the kernel does so.

PS: Ditch that 2.6.10 antique! It belongs into a vitrine in the
MIPSonian Institude, not a life a computer system :-)
PPS: Have you considered upgrading your kernel?
