Can you try 2.4.0? Are you using the 3c59x ethernet driver? I've got the
same problem on one of my machines, (see message with subject "2.4.1-pre10
-> 2.4.1 klogd at 100% CPU ; 2.4.0 OK") and the last thing that is logged
is a message from the 3c59x ethernet driver.

I'm doing a bit more digging to see what changed in the driver between
revisions. /proc/pci lists my 3c905B as this:
3Com Corporation 3c905B 100BaseTX [Cyclone] (rev 48)
