You should probably submit a bug report to the kernel about your MTRR crashes, but make sure that you are not using any proprietary modules when you generate logs for them. Given that, I think this bug may deserve a wontfix since it is actually a kernel problem. Mike -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
