The "out-of-box" Redhat 6.1 kernels "586" and "686" (no SMP involved) generate the following paging error, most frequently during a make command using a lot of C++ compiles. The system is an Intel PD440FX motherboard with PII 266 MHz and 64MB RAM with 128MB paging file. Was extremely stable under 2.1.126. With the upgrade I can not complete a long make command. This OOPS is from the 6.1 "586" kernel.

Same disk works fine on a SE440BX motherboard. I may have bad hardware or there is a software failure with Intel's PD440FX motherboard.
