Yes. It was a hard lockup, no life left.

Thanks for explaining this! Funny thing is that I just got a lockup on another machine running 2.0.0 with SMC Ultra. So it might lock up somewhere else, sorry for the NE2000 false alarm.
No SLIP/PPP, no sound, no CD-ROM, no SCSI, both machines with IDE drives, no kerneld, compiled as ELF with gcc-2.7.2, mostly default config except:
IP firewalling, accounting, multicasting enabled IP path mtu discovery disabled IPX and full internal network enabled ncpfs enabled (and used) softdog enabled (didn't help this time) RTC enabled
Feel free to ask if you need more information.
