Hello everybody,

kernel 2.6.21.1 makes my machine Oops about 20 seconds after KDE 3,5 is brought up showing its graphical login (kdm):

lspci -v, based on a "sane" kernel 2.6.22-rc2 or 2.6.20.11 (with both of them the Oops does not happen at all) looks like this:

Please notice:

On an Intel P4 machine with but Intel chipset and Broadcom b44 NIC that Oops does not happen in connection with 2.6.21.1!


Questions:

1. Does anyone have a similar machine (AMD Athlon 1800 XP processor) with similar hardware configuration?

2. If yes, can anyone confirm that Oops problem in connection with that similar hardware architecture and kernel 2.6.21.1.

Regards

Uwe
