My poor IBM seems to be panicing randomly with system calls to irq functions. 1) Panic on sending a 1.3GB file from other PC to the IBM while sound blaster was playing some mp3s 2) The IBM Panics when I turn on the PC next to it (NOT grounding problem) we get a kernel panic with softirq and timers. I know timers changed alot from 2.4 -> 2.5 but this problem is a showstopper at least for me. I first thought it was serial related but having the panic happen after sending a large file makes me wonder if there's something broken with timers and interrupt handling (whos not releasing that timer!).
