the do_BUG is the function that produces the oops messages (reg dump, stack
etc.) - I'm supprised that this is not defined in a 2.4.18 kernel - I would
have guessed that it must be much older to not have this built in.

pre1 had some problems (especially on SMP) so maby updating is a good idea
any way - pleas compile it for a generic 686 CPU and let me know if it hangs
I have a DMP Celeron running here with pre1/2/3/rc1 and it does not hang
(compiled as generic 686).
