It also likes to crash if you try to load i2c-amd756. This machine has 1 gig on memory and is an smp athlon, from what I have googled their have been issues with over 900mb and smp. You can't have everything but with a Linux box you sure can come close :-)
This still occurs with Fedora and 2.4.22-1.2115.nptl. From digging through kernel notes, it appears that it will be resolved in 2.6. I will try to test in the near future, that box is no longer a gateway for me so I can kill it all the time :-)
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/
