That is, the exact same oops the tar test showed which I expect is 
progress -- the dd is now in fact doing something :-)

When I now switched the monitor to 5va2 itself it was happily generating 
more oopses and supposedly "fixing up recursive faults", while advicing 
me to reboot. 2 seconds later it didn't leave me a choice as it dropped 
dead :-)

Just to keep track, I'm now using the patches (minus 03) at:

http://members.home.nl/rene.herman/mcdx/

(for lkml: with 03, the machine locks itself hard each and every time 
without information).

Thanks again :)

Rene.
