Hi, sorry for the not very descriptive subject.

I have a problem with linux 2.6.5, it crashes, a lot. Some times it spews
out oops at me, sometimes i dotn know if it oopsed or not because the
machine doesnt respond.

I can reproduce this by several means, including playing a dvd, compiling
firefox, mplayer or thunderbird and i can be doing something not quite a
hard on the system such as browsing the web or chatting... It'll find some
way to piss me off.

Now, i have supplied several oops, each on containing the full output of
dmesg via the kernel logging daemon. I have also supplied my hardware specs
(mobo + lspci -vvv) and out put of ver_linux?... All these files can be
found @ http://users.quickfox.org/~pods/linux-issues/.

I didnt want to post them here because each oops IIRC is different. Just to
let you know if have tried several way in which to correct this.

* several different kernels ( 2.4.18-bf24, 2.4.26, 2.6.5 )
** with ide shareirq
** noapic
** + apic
** noacpi
** + acpi
** lots of other differences

* Recently i had turned to bios and have disabled many things including apic
(just incase you where wondering, bios had mps @ 1.4)

If you would rather me add the very large amoung of oops to this email, tell
me and i'll do so. Thanks in advance.

P.S Im not subscribed to the list, i may consider it depending on the amount
of feedback i get and how involved i need to be, but for now i'd rather if
people could CC me their response. Thank you
again.
