Sigh :(
Rebuilt with CPU_FREQ, doesn't oops. It says
cpufreq: Intel(R) SpeedStep(TM) for this processor not (yet) available
Is the above message expected ? The CPU is a 1.8Ghz mobile P4.
Still puzzled as to why... wait, this was a cold boot, let me try
warmbooting... argh - the disk powered off. Bug 119 :(
Nope, coldbooted in 2.4.21-pre3, rebooted in 2.5.56, still had no
oops with a CPU_FREQ enabled kernel.
