Sorry, the Kernel mailing list server won't let me attach the
files, so here are URL's:

    RAM: 512 MB
    Kernel Params: ide=nodma, pci=biosirq (the dmesg suggested it =))
    
    Leaving the computer running all night, with only a CPU
    intensive task (i.e., seti@home), produced the attached
    message log, of what appear to be almost on-the-clock
    hourly OOPS's. This ofcourse led me to believe it was something
    in my cron schedule, only problem is, it's empty, so it's
    either syslogd or a built in system hourly task (no problems
    on 8 other machines with this same kernel, distro, and config).
    
    Behavior with the OOPS's, is sporatic, I can turn the machine
    on, wait ten minutes, and log in, and do a "ls" and it will
    OOPS, other times it will be hours before I see them.
    
    One other problem, probably unrelated, the BIOS and the Kernel
    both report seeing a "Realtek 8139" NIC on the computer, though
    no such card exists and it is not built onto the mobo, only a
    3COM 3c59x (PCI Card).
    
    Included in the messages the kernel seemed to want me to
    report to the list two bug reports =), seeing as how it even
    has "cut here" in the messages file. Attached, is the full
    /var/log/message, at the end of the file, the machine just quit,
    as when I came in, no display would come up. I've also attached
    the output from dmesg, lsmod, and lspci, if you need anything else,
    or have any ideas, PLEASE don't hesitate to tell me.
