lol, I might try that.  Although I really don't need to go that far. 
Lately, I have been able to spontaniously reboot by running five GL
applications at once.  Which isn't pleasant but doesn't concern me too
much.  Each time I've had a panic there has been only one gl application
running... and lately all GL programs are causing this issue.

> Are you using the latest nvidia drivers?

As a matter of fact, that is what I think caused the problem.  I just
upgraded to the latest drivers on the 19th... right before I had these
problems.  That combined with the fact that all of these issues can be
consistently caused by running gl programs gives me strong cause to
suspect it.

Yes, I suspect this might be part of the issue.  I don't remember seeing
this message before the new driver was installed.  But I do know that
the old kernel had it loaded (it was hard coded with the configuration
file).  I think the driver might have changed the way it handled the
presence of both AGPs.

lol, I would love to... if I thought I could help.  But I am still
learning as much as I can about the kernel... nowhere near the level
required to help.
