Hard-to-catch oops with 2.6.0-test1, is this enough?

[Kevin P. Fleming]

I've had an oops occurring randomly, and not frequently (every 5-6 
days) for weeks now, using 2.5.7? kernels and now today with 
2.6.0-test1. I've got the system set up with a serial console, and 
another system capturing the output (when I set it up), but have never 
managed to catch the oops message.

This morning, however, the oops occurred and I was able to use 
Alt-SysRq-P and capture that output, which is below. Is this adequate 
for tracking down the cause of this problem? If not, I'm going to have 
to set up something that can run 24/7 to catch the real oops message.
