Hi Jeff

Following up on my previous reply:

I was able to try this on the machine just before I left.  Unfortunately
2.6.34-rc3 does not fix the problem - it behaves exactly like 2.6.33.  In
terms of error messages, there is nothing more displayed beyond that which I
reported in the initial email except for this:

  SStatus 113, SControl 300

As far as I can tell, that (plus the previously reported details) is all
that's printed by the kernel in connection with the failure.

I'll look into the alternative console methods to see if I can capture a
full output from the failing kernel.  However, it will be at least two weeks
before I can do this because that's the earliest I'll be physically back at
the machine for an extended period of time (I could probably run quick tests
sooner).

Regards
  jonathan
