nah, slightly different place...its still the 'swapper' that crashes
though. In my case, its a 2.4 kernel with different options enabled (to
get 'user-ready' 2.4 kernel the same config as the 2.2.10 kernel.
I've started to disable bits and pieces.  I was just going to get the
module from sourceforge and compare the two configs...and then isolate
which option causes the kernel to oooops on startup :-|
