As soon as I start oggenc on my 2.5 kernel, I get this message:

CPU 0: Machine Check Exception: 0000000000000004 Bank 0: f60600000000135 at 000000001ea46db0

  Kernel panic: CPU context corrupt

This vc then hangs, but I could log in and write down the message on another vc. Is this a hardware error? Should I replace my CPU? My memory? Is my machine overheating? I have had several strange and unexplained segfaults and reboots under 2.4 recently.

Probably you're suffering from bad RAM. Please create a memtest86 boot floppy and try it in your own... Segfaults and reboots mostly are bad CPU fans or bad RAM:-p

Looks like a instruction fetch error from the level 1 cache.

Your CPU may be overheating, yes. Or it could even be a faulty processor.

Could you please check your cooler? What's the average CPU temp.?
