The panic first happened on a RH7.3 system with kernel version
2.4.18-19.7.x. I have no serial port so I had to type the panic
from the screen. That did BTW give me a lot of trouble, because
the flashing LEDs prevented my KVM switch from working correctly.
The last 24 lines of the panic is below.
I applied all updates and reproduced the problem with kernel
version 2.4.18-24.7.x. I have no panic dump though, sometimes
the screen is black when this panic happens (but judging from
the hsync and vsync it is in text mode).
I tried reproducing with 2.4.21-pre4 and netconsole. (I have no
serial port, so netconsole is my only option.) Unfortunately the
netconsole patch from http://people.redhat.com/mingo/netconsole-patches/
does not support my onboard sis900 ethernet chip. But I tried
making the same changes to the sis900 driver as this patch has
done to a few others. And it worked. (Might not be stable, but
worked well enough to catch the entire Oops and panic messages.)
The patch and the output is below.
This is the error messages from 2.4.18-19.7.x visible on the
screen:

<0>Kernel panic: Aiee, killing interrupt handler!
In interrupt handler - not syncing
This is the error messages from 2.4.21-pre4 dumped with
netconsole and passed through ksymoops. (The kernel is
tainted because of the missing module license in netconsole):
ksymoops 2.4.4 on i686 2.4.21-pre4-nc. Options used
-V (default)
-k /proc/ksyms (default)
-l /proc/modules (default)
-o /lib/modules/2.4.21-pre4-nc/ (default)
-m /boot/System.map-2.4.21-pre4-nc (default)
Warning: You did not tell me where to find symbol information. I will
assume that the log matches the kernel and modules that are running
right now and I'll use the default options above for symbol resolution.
If the current kernel and/or modules do not match the log, you can get
more accurate output by telling me the kernel version and where to find
map, modules, ksyms etc. ksymoops -h explains the options.
Error (expand_objects): cannot stat(/lib/reiserfs.o) for reiserfs
Warning (map_ksym_to_module): cannot match loaded module reiserfs to a unique module object. Trace may not be reliable.
