The reason I didn't post it is that it has already scrolled off the top of my console by the time I can read anything :-( I can see the hex values for the registers and hex values for the stack trace, but nothing earlier than that. I looked in /var/log/messages but I see that kjournald doesn't start until well after the oops. I thought about compiling in support for console on serial-or-parallel port but I've never been clear on just what to plug into the serial-or- parallel port after I've done that. Can you give me a hint how I can get the whole oops message for you?
