On occastion I get an oops similar to the one included when running 64 bit mode. To see if it was a 64 bit bug, I installed the i386 version and I got the same type of oops. Is it a hardware problem or a legitimate kernel bug? It seems like the oops always is due to a spinlock being held. I'm running Fedora Core 2 on both platforms. The nVidia module taints the kernel, so I'm going to test it without that module next to see if it makes any difference. I've also ran 1 pass of memtest86+ (1.27) and it checked out ok. I may run it all night tonight to test further. I'm only subscribed to the fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx, so if you're reading this on another list, cc me directly!
