I'm suspecting this to be a hardware issue, but I can't pin it down, and
I'm hoping someone here might be able to help. The system's a new
built-from-scratch, so I guess the problem could be any of the components.
 The system oopses *hard* under heavy load (make -j64 bzImage) pretty
consistently.

Hardware: 512mb PC133, single pIII/800EB on a dual Tyan S2507, Mylex 170LP
(DAC960) RAID controller on 4 18gig disks. (Patched with Zubkoff's DAC960
patch, version 2.2.10 for kernel 2.2.18)

I've swapped the RAM around and with some from a known-good system and I
still get the crashes. They're generally so hard that I can't scroll back
to copy anything from the screen. What I do get are lines like this one:

[<c010f73c>] [<c012798e>] [c011c1cc>]...

repeating for at least a screen full, then:

Code: 39 73 74 75 2d c7 43 50 11 00 00 00 ff 83 dc 04 00 00 a1 b0

One oops that wasn't hard enough to take out the entire system looked like
this:

kmem_free: Bad obj addr (objp=dbad0220, name=vm_area_struct)
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address
00000000
current->tss.cr3=00101000, %%crs = 00101000
*pde = 00000000

Any ideas?

Thanks,
  John
