I had the same problem yesterday. Had been on the internet. 6 bash'es
running. rc5-64. Mirror, tcpdump, pppstats running only when
connected. Logged off from the internet. Editing a file with ae. All of a
sudden my screen filled up and contiously displayed errors(couldn't read as it
was going to fast). I then switched to tty12(where syslog dumps everything),
and I got "Scheduling from interrupt."
P166MMX, 32MB, 2 raid0 partitions on 3 ide hard drives. No scsi, ne2000 up,
but not connected to anything, triton ii mb.
I was also running my screen at 180x80, if that makes a difference.
