I had a similar problem on my machine that may have been due to compiling for
SMP on a UP machine. Usually it's no problem for me, but recent kernels have not
been very forgiving of SMP on UP. The problem hasn't repeated since recompiling.

So if you've left the SMP flag set, I'd suggest recompiling your kernel for UP.

Bill
