This last configuration looked about the same, but for the double panic
now.

OUTSTANDING! I had not even considered. I was wrapped up in my own loop:
prev mobo bad, took a long time to ID that (was being led to believe
mem, after being led to believe it started with seamonkey, after.. you
can see that by now I am tightly focused).
Anyway, both relatively new 100GB commodity HDs. Had not though of that.
They are S>M>A>R>T capable. I'll do what you suggest and look at the
smartmon output.

It's even more than that. It is a new install of 4.3 on a unit built
with a new mobo to replace the one that I RMA'd. Memtest86 makes it seem
that memory is still OK. CPU temps are good, etc. So a lot of these disk
surfaces have not been used before. Since I have no history, I'll check
it.
But I'm still betting on the findings from my googling. Through 6.15
(IIRC) the OOPS has been identified and unsolved. Even saw one entry
where Linux was involved discussing some of the options.

I took a look at the BIOS displayed temps last reboot (no cool-down
time, I ribbitted right away). Well below temps of concern. I need to
install gkrelm(sp?) for the graphical monitoring. I need to look and see
if there's a text version too.

Thanks. At least someone answered.

Thanks. And for taking the time too.
