99% of the time this is a hardware problem -- bad CPU, bad RAM, RAM bank
gone dead, etc. If this is an Opteron system it is isolated to the
CPU/RAM bank #2.
OK, what about that 1%? :-) It's my only system and I don't have lots
of $$ available so I'd like to be sure before I buy another CPU to
replace it.

It boots normal linux fine - is there some way to test what is
happening? Does that call trace actually give away where it is
failing, what it might be?

It happens at the same place every time so it's not a random.
