Well, I ran the mainline 3.4.0 overnight with no ill effects.  I'm
currently back on Precise current kernel.  How do I install the Oneiric
kernel?  I can install mainline kernels all day long, but I've never
tried installing a kernel from an older release onto a newer release...
is there a wiki or something you can point me to so I can try that?

Also, the thing that triggered this was teh SysRq messages that hit
klog/syslogd so hard that they were being written to the log files all
munged together.  I'm trying to get the actual syslog from this, but
it's difficult as the file is 3.9GB in size, thanks to at least 19
million identical Emergency Thaw messages, malformed messages and stack
traces.  I'm culling out a lot of the duplicated cruft and trying to get
the log down to a reasonable size to upload for you, but it's slow going
as vi apparently wants to load the entire file into memory to edit it,
and then deleting a million lines at a time takes a bit :)

Finally, I do NOT know what triggered this, and it's only happened the
one time, so far.  Just FYI.
