It does sound like it's a different problem.

I.e. there was _NO_ other kernel output after the 'cia0: WARNING: ...'
line?

that's interesting, because it means that the machine crashed in a
place where it shold be relatively easy to figure out what's going on.


You didn't say if you were trying to run 1.4.x or -current on that
box.  If -current, could you try to run a 1.4.x (e.g. 1.4.1) kernel?
If that fails, i can try to compile you a few kernels with debugging
printfs...  (I don't have -current on any of my alphas.)
