hmm, looks like a U1 regression. might be interesting to see if the U2 beta candidate helps: http://people.redhat.com/~jbaron/rhel4/
Please try the latest RHEL4U2 beta and let us know if the problem persists. If it does, can you get a serial console capture of the crash?
Problem has also been seen on a "Supermicro PDSG4" motherboard.
