Hia,
  I have been having a few odd stability problems with one of my gentoo
machines. It's a dual PIII500 with 768MB of ram running two SCSI drives
in a software RAID 1 array. It had crashed a few times so I used the NMI
Watchdog to try and figure out what was going on. Anyhow it's crashed
again, this time I got to see the watchdog output....

Bank 3: b20000000002010a
Kernel Panic: CPU Context Corrupt
In Idle Task - Not Syncing

I've found parts of the error on google... references to various things.
The one almost exact match I got was here:
http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0201.3/0382.html

Sometimes the quoted problem is memory, or clock speed. However before I
built this instance of Gentoo on there it was running as a Gentoo test
machine for quite a while. During that time I ran memcheck and cpu_burn
for days. No probelms found and no crashes.

Can anyone give me any background on this? Or ideas? Relevent URLs? I'm
starting to shoot in the dark here ;)

Many thanks.....

  Nick
