As it has been only a minor nuisance, I haven't paid close attention to 
it. It's never happened with zeros, it's always has been a letter and 
not the same one either. I can only remember "lllll" from the last time 
it happened.

Laptop CPU 64x2 Mobile Tl-58 1.9Ghz (ATI chipset), laptop Athlon 
XP3000+ Mobile (VIA VT82xxxx chipset) and 2 boxes with 64x2 6400 - 
NVidia MCP55 chipsets.
I think it was with 2.6.25-rc?, not exactly sure which -rc or -rc-git.
Almost certainly happens during software compiling.
When next it happens, I shall dig a bit deeper.
I have just been trying powersave to see if I could induce a failure at 
full speed. Getting a hal error, don't know how long it's been around. I 
shall check bugs to see if it's known and open one if it isn't.
Currently the laptops are running at 800Mhz and the desktops at 1000 Mhz.
