System crashes with linux 3.3.4-1
Running fully updated (@01/05/12) Arch with kernel linux 3.3.4-1 on an elderly Compaq Evo D500 with an Nvidia GeForce FX 5200 AGP graphics card, and running Openbox as WM and xf86-video-nouveau driver. As soon as I updated kernel, am getting complete crash soon after I start doing something memory intensive like running VirtualBox or Chromium. The first message on the screen reports: BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at 00200200 [or 00100104]. There doesn't seem to be any lead up in the logs that I see.
The system becomes completely unresponsive, and no keyboard or mouse actions work. Only a hard power off works.
Maybe I should revert to the dreaded vesa driver ... or any better ideas most welcome!

Dead right - seems like the same kernel problems!
