I haven't compared the log from Thorsten's kernel failure with the

The introduction of the SLUB allocator was 2.6.22, but I can't help you
bisect because I don't recall that it worked ever (?)
Thanks for sharing that information - that does sound like quite a
fundamental problem, and not just limited to Atari then.
Anyway, I do recall building SLUB kernels at the time that would fail more
often than they booted ... maybe the old releases could offer some clues?
At least they fail in a very consistent manner now. I wonder whether it's
worth debugging this at all?
Not for us, but please send your findings (e.g. crash log) to the SLUB people.

when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
