Since the upgrade to kernel-2.4.7-10 my stystem will randomly freeze. The last entry in /var/log/messages is allways the same: Sep 13 22:39:12 tomcat kernel: eth0: (119595) System Error occured (1) Sep 13 22:39:42 tomcat kernel: eth0: (119933) System Error occured (1) Sep 13 22:39:42 tomcat kernel: spurious 8259A interrupt: IRQ7.

Does it work if you use the "tulip_old.o" module instead ?
No same result with tulip_old. Reverted to the old kernel 2.4.7-6. No problems thus far.
No problems with current kernel
