Well, the issue is that I could only do everything via ssh today and
don't have any physical access to the machines. In fact, both seem to
have suffered a genuine kernel panic, which is also visible in the
last few lines of the log I provided today. So, basically, both
machines are now sitting at my home in panic state and I'll only be
able to resurrect them wheh I'm physically there again tonight. But
that was expected; I could have waited with the test until I'm at
home, which makes things easier, but I thought the sooner I can
provide a log for you to look at, the better. ;-)
