# Ok, after getting 2.2.2-ac7 installed, I had hoped that it would solve my

I'm replying to my own message. More information. On looking at the EIP
via SysRQ after a lockup, I notice it is in <cleanup_module+b66/1d9c>.
Which is rather strange considering that while I am running kmod, my
modules are pretty much static:
Module Size Used by
softdog 944 1 (autoclean)
ne 5984 1 (autoclean)
8390 6364 0 (autoclean) [ne]
autofs 8972 1 (autoclean)
binfmt_misc 3436 0
I do have the standard */10 * * * * rmmod -a in my crontab, which I have
disabled to see if that is involved about 4 hours ago. I've been hitting
the box as hard as I can (network /X wise) but haven't had a hiccup yet.
Now, a little about OOPS tracing when there's no oops (ie, a lockup). What
other information is gleamable from SysRQ (other than EIP) that is useful?
G'day!
