I've just had my kernel suffer a meltdown with 2.6.15-rc5-mm2, there was a
massive amount of console output streaming for an hour or so till I got control
but this was logged in the messages log immediately after it went amiss.

I'm about to run up -mm3 but didn't see any obvious fix for this so possibly
it's still a problem in that one too?
