This is not reproducible as I have rebooted twice since with no oops. I
have had five other oopses though, all different( but I think either when
a module was being loaded or unloaded, either floppy or ppp). So maybe
something not initialised or a bad pointer, or maybe even some other
problem with 2.1.90.

The case I posted to you was slip being loaded by diald as I have;

I am using modutils 2.1.85

If I get something reproducible I'll post again.
