There weren't any fsck problems - I did check. This was a random crash, so 
it's going to be hard to reproduce without the ati driver (especially as 
the free ati driver in SL4 cannot drive the card).

We seeing quite a few regular crashes, mostly in machines without nonfree 
drivers (x86 and x86-64). Most of these happen when rsync is running. 
Unfortunately the machine crashes usually before the panic gets in the 
logs.
