I too have experienced some .89 lockups. seemingly random as to their
relation with the system. All of them flat out dead instant stop, zero
response.

Some related information:

I'm in X and console, switching back and forth. Once the lockup occured
during switch.

One lockup revealed ncr scsi error on my zip device at the moment of
lockup, so I changed ncr drivers. No help.

Except for the above scsi error, I have had 0 syslog events. All
crashes have occured in my presence when I was doing something.

One of these crashes was during the selection of a song in x11amp. This
was not a lockup, but managed to reboot completely of it's own.

Hardware: amd k6-233, compiled as such. 64megs of ram, ide HD and cdrom,
scsi tape+cdrom+zip. 1st generation atx form motherboard, tyan s1573.
dlink 21141 using tulip v.79 driver, ncr 53c810 card, aims labs reveal
tuner card, gravis ultrasound max sound card.

The machine was quite stable with .83-86, did not get a chance to use 87
or 88 for long.

My normal activity is: bx/joe/ssh/netscape/wp/gimp/rxvt and a lot of gcc.
;)

fwiw, there it is. any random divinations that are caused thereby fixing
something would be nice.
