I'd also like to object to the statement above. The dumped registers are
fine and enough to get an idea where the system was and what it was doing.
My machines don't hang after the reboot. I'm using kdb and LKCD so
init_handler_platform looks completely different from yours, anyhow
I don't understand why that code should be executed _after_ you reboot.
Shouldn't the MCA logs come from ia64_log_print?

Erich
