Hi all I just encountered this oops with 2.6.1_rc1-mm1. It did not lockup the machine though. It continued to boot and start x, though in a very small resolution. Maybe its related to the ati-driver for my Radeon 9600 card? I am not sure what might have triggered this oops. Any hints where to start looking? Also attached to this email is the full dmesg, .config, and ksymoops output. ------------------ Freeing unused kernel memory: 180k freed Adding 497972k swap on /dev/hda6.
