It's telling you your PII/PIII is malfunctioning or something like that (I don't know if it also traps RAM ECC errors or other stuff like that). If you're an overclocker, you know why. If not, you might want to call Intel's customer support... BTW, I know this code had some changes made in 2.2.18pre?, and they might be bugfixes or something like that. So, you might want to run the above through Alan Cox... just send the oops and ask them what it means at linux-kernel@kernel.org (the kernel development list). Do remember to tell them your kernel version, CPU and motherboard, and that you're not subscribed to the list... -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
