This was set to enabled, and had the following individual settings - automatic system reboot - over temperature alarm - ecc scrubbing turning off any of these individually did not get rid of the signal 10 problem. However, disabling the SMI totally makes 2.2-stable run rocksolid. it is now performed almost 400 kernel compiles with not so much as a hiccup. Any comments on this apparent incompatibility?
