Hi James,

The patch that I snipped below doesn't visibly change anything except a 
couple of lines at the end (or beginning) of the stack trace. I didn't 
even notice a difference in the verbosity in the log and I did have 
logging turned on. I am attaching the log of the oops as well as the 
kernel command line from /etc/grub.conf. Unfortunately, right now I 
really don't have the time to just jump in and start debugging this 
myself. Please don't take that as a lack of interest, just a lack of 
time. I will be glad to provide any further info or testing that I can.

kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.12-rc3 ro root=LABEL=/ console=ttyS0,38400 
console=tty0 nmi_watchdog=1 scsi_logging_level=0xffff

Thanks again,
