You may recall that I reported a few crashes with the 2.2.6-RELEASE
and sent in tracebacks... but the kernel was not config'd -g so
there was little info in the tracebacks.

I promised to build a DEBUG kernel and report my findings.


Well - after a week or two, I have little to report.

It seems that the machine is still mysteriously crashing, but now
I don't get anything in /var/crash.

I just had the opportunity to see first-hand this happen; I was
working and suddenly - "poof" away things went.

On the reboot - savecore issued the message "savecore: no core dump".

That is; the machine apparently just rebooted - no panic or nothing...


Has anyone else experienced mysterious, non-panic reboots?

This is while in X, and didn't seem to happen with the 2.2.5-RELEASE.
Perhaps there's something in the X code (Matrox Millenium II card)
that's causing this spontaneous reboot...
