Like I wrote, the box died when this happened, which is why I had
to copy the oops text manually. I did check /var/log/messages after
the reboot, but nothing got logged there.

Well, W2KPROSP4 works, but that's not the issue. The Linux sky2 driver
works like 99% of the time, it's just occasional cold boot detection
failures and now this one indicent.

I'll try to debug it a little more next time it fails on a cold boot.
