Hmm..  IIRC that's consistently where I've seen it crash
which I attributed loosely to always running on an NFS
root.  Perhaps not.

The edp9302 board has a 256Mb (32MB) SDRAM configured
as (IIRC) 16MB+16MB.  The only memory usage scenario
where I seem to squeak by for hours is with mem=
but not otherwise.  Even specifying a single bank of
mem= results in the above crash scenario after
a few minutes.  Unsure whether this relates to a HW
problem in this particular patient though..
