Cool.

Ok, please remove the proprietary drivers when reproducing the oops.

was the netconsole built-in or a module? Try building it into the kernel if
not.

Sure, I'll give it a try.

> 2. If so, is there a possibility to use firewire to capture the oops messages?

There is something related in <Documentation/debugging-via-ohci1394.txt>
but I haven't tried it yet.

Ok, so what we need now is a cleaner OOPS. If nothing else works, try
making a picture but make sure it is readable and complete. Also, send me the
objdump part I asked you for in the earlier message.

Thanks,
Boris.
