I don't have an oops/panic to give because the box won't dump one on this 
issue.

I have two PCs, an A7M266-D Athlon MP 2000+ and an IBM 300PL 6892-N2U PIII 
(Katmai) 450Mhz.  If I leave the IBM machine on for a few hours or so, it's 
idle and just handling my mail/dns.  The problem happens when I turn on the 
A7M266-D the other box locks up and reboots (due to panic=80). ksyslog/klogd 
aren't dumping any oopes to my logfile so I'm unable to capture the bug.

1. The PCs are connected via a router to my network.

2. The PCs are connected via serial port together (possibly causing the oops 
with interrupts?)

Note, when I turn off and on the A7M266-D the IBM will not panic. It's only 
when the IBM is powered on for a few hours (if thats any help in narrowing 
down things).

When It did panic, It reported __run_timers and a held spinlock by 
linux/timer.c but the EIP was 00000000 (garbage). 

Anyone else noticing strange things like this? This is really annoying :-(
