DEATH of SMP

My SMP machine is dead again. I booted it with 2.1.36 from kernel.org, after
fixing up the boot failure exception.

I can't find out why presently, I am 80 miles away on a 1200 baud link
via one of my VAXen. I would guess that when I come to work in the morning
it will be the usual, i.e., nothing on the screen, nothing in the logs, just
dead as though the clock stopped.

When I restart it, I will use bash as init and just let it sit... It seems
to crash mostly when __NOTHING__ is happening.

Cheers,
Dick Johnson
