Hello,

I installed 2.6.19-rc2-mm2 without kernel debugging options enabled first.
The output below is what I saw when the kernel started. Then I enabled
debugging and system hangs with oops with no trace in the logs. It is not
easily repeatable though. It happens from time to time.

BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address

When running without debug options enabled also these were seen amongst dmesg
lines:

[drm:drm_unlock] *ERROR* Process 5131 using kernel context 0

When debug options were enabled these above disappeared. System info:
