At first, lots of kernels just kept working, I almost suspected I was doing something wrong. Then the second last kernel recompiled a lot of DRM stuff - and the crash came back! The kernel after that worked again, and so the final message was: 561fb765b97f287211a2c73a844c5edb12f44f1d is first bad commit diff-tree 561fb765b97f287211a2c73a844c5edb12f44f1d (from 6ade43fbbcc3c12f0ddba112351d14d6c82ae476) Author: Anton Blanchard Date: Mon Aug 1 21:11:46 2005 -0700 [PATCH] ppc64: topology API fix Dont include asm-generic/topology.h unconditionally, we end up overriding all the ppc64 specific functions when NUMA is on.

But perhaps they share something? I hope this is of help, Helge Hafting
