-> here the output from the serial console stopped.
Caps lock and Scroll lock where flashing again and as it hit a 'good'
spot during the installing of the package this crash resulted in a
corrupted ld.so.cache and damage several housekeeping files of the
package manager. :-(

Last good mm was 2.6.24-rc2-mm1, the next booting mm was
2.6.24-rc3-mm2 and that version had these "random" crashes.
Last good mainline was 2.6.24-rc7 that I was testing with the new
iommu patches that where added to 2.6.24-rc3-mm2.

I did a partly bisect of 2.6.24-rc6-mm1 that narrow it to this range:
2.6.24-rc6 + mm-patches up to (including) git.nfsd -> worked
2.6.24-rc6 + mm-patches up to (including) git.xfs -> crashed

I think the only added patch between rc2-mm1 and rc3-mm2 in that range
where the iommu changes that I later ruled out.
That leaves some git trees as suspects:
git-ocfs2.patch
git-selinux.patch
git-s390.patch
git-sched.patch
git-sh.patch
git-scsi-misc.patch
git-unionfs.patch
git-v9fs.patch
git-watchdog.patch
git-wireless.patch
git-ipwireless_cs.patch
git-x86.patch
git-xfs.patch

I don't use ocfs2, selinux, unionfs or the p9fs.
The system is a dual opteron x86_64 system with 4 GB ECC RAM and an
nVidia 3600 chipset (MCP55).
As noted in the rc3-mm2-thread the crash will also happen, if I use
normal ethernet instead of ether1394.

The root filesystem is xfs on dm-crypt on raid5 on 3 sata disks. 2 on
sata_sil24, 1 on sata_nv.

My testcase is updating the system, this means in the case of gentoo
compiling the new packages, then installing them. The portage tree and
the distfiles (source packages) are on a NFSv4 share.

Sadly I currently lack the time to do much testing, so further
bisecting that mm-kernel is not possible, as each step takes several
hours of compiling packages and hoping to hit the bug. Somtimes I
needed to compile over 100 KDE packages until it triggered.
