The most common are: 1. faulty memory 2. faulty cache 3. cooling problems 4. overclocking 5. Bad timing settings in the BIOS If it were related to your new kernel, it would be more deterministic. > > > > > > Which system call? > > My own system call.

You can even add syscalls dynamically via a KLD. It is easier to develop the syscall as a KLD and then add it statically to the kernel.
