Bit more info. Problem is repeatable on a plain 2.2.14 kernel. The
message that was scrolling by too fast to read was "Unable to handle
kernel paging request". SysRq dosn't work once the problem starts.
Also if it means anything, the system dosn not identify the correct
amount of memory. Says 64M really 256M. mem=256M does work.
It also failed on 2.3.99-pre3, but it took almost twice as long to do so.
I did manage to catch an oops with this. I had to type it in as it didn't
get logged, so beware of typos. I still have a jpg of the screen if anyone
wants it.
