Hi All,

I have set up a new PC with following hardware:
Supermicro MB P6DGU, 2xPII 450 MHz, 512 MB RAM
SCSI 4.3 Gb IBM disk (boot disk)
IDE 2 x 9.5 Gb IBM disk (data disk)
IDE CDROM (Panasonic)
ATI 3D Charger 4MB AGP graphics card + Voodoo II (not used yet)
2 x 3com 3C905 BTX ethernet

Software:
Installed redhat 5.2
Installed kernel 2.2.1
Updated utilities as described in Documentation/Changes

The machine runs for a while and then halts with a kernel panic. This is
the message that is printed.
