I am having similar problem with my ASUS K7V333 motherboard. Usually I'm not
able to even see the panic message since the system locks up or reboots
immediately, but the few messages I saw were related to the swapper or to
the DMA on the CD-RW I have. I was suspecting the -aa series I was using
(with XFS) so I converted my filesystems back to reiserfs and went to use
the -ac series or 2.4.19-rc1. The problem has just manifested itself a while
ago first with the panic caught in the logs and followed by a solid freeze
(see the attachment) and then, after the system came back, a spontaneous
reboot while compiling 2.4.19-rc1-ac3.
The kernel config is also attached. Machine is an Athlon XP1700+, 512MB of
DDR RAM, 40GB HDD, Radeon, Samsung CD-RW, filesystems used are
ext3+reiserfs.

For the -aa series I have ported the kmsgdump patch which worked once but
the messages it caught weren't very useful, unfortunately :(
