here's another one:

[   53.224579] calling  sm_via686a_init+0x0/0x1b @ 1                                               
[   53.224622] bus: 'pci': add driver via686a                                                      
  Booting 'Fedora

This occured after a series of 50 successful bootups ...

Unfortunately this means that the 'baseline' numbers are 
probably not reliable.

Thanks,

	Ingo
