Just booted into this kernel, and hit this, which locked up the machine:

This is tornado.reub.net (Linux x86_64 2.6.21-rc4-mm1) 20:16:58

every few minutes the last two lines would be repeated.

This kernel does not include the hotfixes (the gentoo portage ebuild for this 
release does not yet include them), however I am uncertain if they fix this 
problem or not anyway.

Also, what happened to the -mm announcements sent to 
linux-kernel-announce@vger.kernel.org?  Maybe I'm the only person to miss them :-)
