Kernel panic: machine check

That's interesting ! It looks like a HW error (machine check is usually
caused by a device reporting a HW failure, or the kernel trying to
do IO to non-existing devices).
Do you have the System.map that corresponds to this kernel ? It's
needed to decode the numbers above.
It's the standard woody powerpc kernel, from the current CD I think
(downloaded it a couple of days ago). There's a copy of the sysmap on
the CD; I'll email it direct to you (rather than clutter up the list
with attachments) just in case you can't find it.
Thanks,
.....Ron
