Hi, serial console is my friend. :-) Freshly captured oops from tonight, box was frozen after that. Pentium Pro 200 - Natoma/Triton II Chipset, 192 MBytes RAM. Box is rock solid under RedHat 7.3 release and errata kernel. Kernel Config and boot messages attached. This is a stock 2.4.21-pre5-ac1 kernel compiled for i686.
