modprobe was running at 234042, now in the log I see:

20021018 234001 start /sbin/modprobe -s -k -- char-major-14 safemode=1

I don't see any modprobe in the logs at 234042 and the one at 234040 is
writing "probe ended" at 234040. maybe it was another modprobe that
crashed before it could write into the logs? or maybe it was the
underlined one that crashed after writing "probe ended"? But anyways it
looks like modprobe is innocent if it didn't write into the log any new
module loaded. Do you agree Keith?

if you still have the .config used to build the kernel please send it
too, thanks!

I've no idea why radeon or agpgart could generate corruption in my tree
and not in mainline and I can't reproduce. the best would be if you
could do a binary search on all the patches applied (first applying all
the [012]* and see if you can rerproduce, and so on)
