paging oops with 2.4.20-rc2

[Tupshin Harper <tupshin@tupshin.com>]

I'm experiencing frequent oops when doing much of anything 
cpu/memory/disk intensive. I've yet to get through a kernel compilation 
on this machine.

The hardware is a new kt400 based motherboard (Gigabyte GA-7VAX with VIA 
chipset)with an athlon XP.  I upgraded to 2.4.20-rc2 in order to get DMA 
support for the VIA 8235 chipset, and that appears to work. However, 
this version did introduce frequent oops(as shown below), all involving 
kernel paging requests.  I've included a ksymoops processed log below. 
Please let me know if you need more information, as this is the first 
kernel bug report I've made.

Some notable things about the machine:
1)Every partition is reiserfs 3.6
2) Every partition except /boot is on a software raid-0 + LVM setup.

Thanks
