Johnny, I got that kernel, and it dies what appears to be the same
death as the prior one. the register dump is different than the one
I showed, but even before that the dump didn't always look the same.
this one also mentions something about alsa or snd. I can put it up on
the same web site as the last one if anyone would find it useful to 
see (I certainly don't know how to interpret it).

also, this is a netbook, so it has no serial port. If it did I'd look
into a serial console on the theory that I could capture the entire
dump. Can anyone suggest how I would do that without a serial console?
... or if not exactly that, other things that would be useful to do
to help clarify/diagnose this?

thanks all!

Fred
