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.
