- I was having a similar problem with my Crimson last week ("PANIC: KERNEL FAULT"
- and a "Bad address" which was different every time). SGI was ready to send
- me a new CPU board, but now I think the machine has been overheating because
- my acoustic foam panels were packed too closely around it. I had had no problems
- with this configuration for the past four months.
