The 2.4.23 problems I'm experiencing are not a regression. Patch reversal
didn't solve it and 2.4.22 seems to suffer as well. Somehow RedHat 9 plus
some desktop triggers the problem, almost always when X is started for the
second time the day after the crash (probably some things got paged out in between).
2.4.22 Oops:
aksymoops 2.4.9 on i686 2.4.22-x90. Options used
-V (default)
-k /var/log/ksyms.1 (specified)
-l /proc/modules (default)
-o /lib/modules/2.4.22-x90/ (default)
-m /boot/System.map-2.4.22-x90 (specified)
No modules in ksyms, skipping objects
