I have an odd problem when using the 460ex rev b processors. Previously, I'd used the rev A without any issues on the same pcbs. This happens on multiple units now. Basically, while running the system will just randomly kernel panic. We have seen this probably 4 or 5 times on a over the course of several days per board. On many occasions, the CPU will not kernel dump at all and will just be dead after having run for some amount of time. The kernel is 2.6.31.5
The exact details (though I don't think they are too useful are as follows. The one interesting item if I read it correctly, is that the CPU was trying to get instructions from c002xxxx address. However, this board only has 512MB of memory so it seems that the address (if it is physical) isn't valid. Are there any tricks we can use to analyze this problem? Or is there any information we can collect to help pinpoint where this issue might lie?
