Comment 1 Justin Conover 2005-03-23 04:54:09 UTC
1191 bombs for me at this point:

SELinux: initialized (dev binfmt_misc), uses genfs_contexts
Kernel panic - not syncing: lib/kobject.c:143: spin_lock(lib/kobject.c:c03eb790)
already locked by lib/kobject.c/171. (Not tainted)

I have a dell prescion 420, another user has a problem booting up and a common
hardware peice we both have is a  "aic7xxx" scsi card.  Both the smp and regular.

 * please see also : New dumping problem...
 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2005-03/msg01323.html

 $echo 0 >/proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space
 $setarch i386 make bootstrap

 bootstrap works well.
