Apologies for not picking up your mail earlier - I'm behind on my weekly 
uk LUG syncing...being on about 25 LUGs around the world is fun.

You really want to translate that oops for me or send me your kernel 
image and System.map but since I'm feeling like distraction...I've 
downloaded kernel-enterprise-2.4.25.2mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm from 
mirror.ac.uk as a guestimate of what you're running. If you had 2.6 then 
it would be shouting at us much more loudly and usefully so I'm assuming 
2.4.x until you tell me otherwise.

jcm at perihelion:~/mdk_debug/boot$ cat oops.txt | ksymoops -V -K -L -O -m 
System.map-2.4.25-2mdkenterprise  >oops_decoded.txt

This doesn't seem to match up - what are you running?

Jon.
