OK.  I'm attaching one from the /var/log/messages file.

Unfortunately, I don't have much time to look at the problem, though
I'll help where I can: I'm leaving on a month's business trip in three
days time, and I have a whole lot of software to install first.  Let
me know if you need other info and I'll get it when I have time.  One
of the things I need to do anyway is build a new kernel, so let me
know if there's something you'd like me to put in.
