Looks like it ran out of iommu space trying to map the buffers. Is the GART set
to a very small size on this box ?
Comment 3 Alan Cox 2003-05-27 21:17:08 UTC 
GART is in the bios - but if it ran SuSE OK before then that doesn't sound like
the bug
Comment 5 Need Real Name 2003-06-10 02:34:11 UTC 
Ok so using 
linux -mem=3G
at install solved the problem. The machine is dual CPU 8G.
thanks.

That sounds like one of the device drivers you are using isn't properly handling
the 64bit addressing, probably the IDE layer somewhere from the trace but might
be IDE is just the unlukcy recipient of the mess. Can you attach an lspci -v ?

Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of
the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem
persists.

The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, 
and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in
the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/
