Well, I gave it a shot. Disabling the printer port or moving the sound card
(SB16 ASP) to IRQ 5 didn't do a thing. Well, it may have made it slightly
less frequent. But the error messages still come. (Note I used smaller
files from a game instead this time so that may be what caused it to be less
frequent this time.) Is it possible that the -12 or what not nice level on
kswapd (though I am not swapping at all) is what is causing it?
While looking back at old configs 2.1.86 and 2.0.33 are IRQ 5 already.
2.1.88 (which did sound well) and 2.1.91 are IRQ 7 (or were, I am recompiling
88 right now. I am running in a fixed .91 right now). It seems this is a
kernel problem after all.
