* Severn-0.93.2 * seems to be only smp machines * kernel-smp-2.4.22-1.2061.nptl I'm seeing several smp machines die at various places with only the message "Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference"
I got the following peculiar serial log from one machine as it died. It appears to contain several overlapping kernel error messages including a NULL dereference and a kernel BUG.

whee, it's like a word find. I've managed to disentangle the following strings from the mess above. ----------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at commit.c:742!
