Hi..

My kernel 2.4.18 is "oopsing" all over the place. Usually it happens once (to
any process) then several other processes will oops immediately afterwards
(like 'login' or 'sh') before it settles down again. Sometimes it crashes and
hangs and other times it causes the process to seg fault if I run it again..

I suspect that this has something to do with my motherboard which has just
changed from a KT7 to a KT7A. The other changed components are the MAXTOR HDD
(previous drive was an older Seagate UDMA33) and the CPU (previously an AMD
Duron 700). Harware setup as follows:

I have tried recompiling the kernel source about 30 times with known good
configurations etc. I have also tested the RAM in my machine (though its the
same chips as before).

I have attached the results from several ksymoops reports for different
oopses. Unfortunately there is nothing on the "Code: " line for the oopses
(Bad EIP value).

Is there anything else I can do?

thanks in advance,

Mark
