Switched CPUs. This time I get the following:
CPU3: Machine Check Exception: 000.0004 CPU2: Machine Check Exception: 000.0004 Bank 0: a20000008c010400 Kernel Panic: CPU context corrupt In idle task - not syncing Note that the CPU# designations are swapped and that there's only one Bank 0: message. Is this significant?
