It ran OK on my G5.  Can you send the config please?

Can you expand on this?  Do you mean that hitting the NMI switch is what
caused this crash?


Does a G5 have a programmer switch?  If so, how does this programmer
switch it?

If you compiled with CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO could you please do

gdb vmlinux
(gdb) l *0xc0068ce4
