Sorry, in my case that's the wrong bug. First found the bug using
Slackware-current. So I stripped down his config file by removing
most of what I can't use, recompiled, and the bug was still there.

I'm not using amd76xrom so went into a MTD submenu and changed it to
not set, etc, and found the bug is still there.

I do not see any other problems except that one:

BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at f862aaa0
IP: [<f8120282>] simple_map_write+0x82/0xbb [map_funcs]

in dmesg's you provided in the first email. That BUG is from amd75xrom
driver. Does dmesg without MTD compiled show something different?

The " - kernel bug?" line is gone.

And this is also not clear for me from your first email, crash happened
every time with pata or randomly?

There are two bugs. In order to reduce the problem to only one bug I
complied 2.6.35.10-smp without MTD's 4 drivers where the name starts
with "bios" and also compiled with pata.

Result, first four attempts at booting: oops 3, success 1.

Ok, but on all dmesgs in your first email there was no oops
other than MTD one. If you want to have pata bug fixed, you need
to show where the problem is.
