Hello everyone,

I have trawled the depths of the Internet, scoured the innermost reaches 
of the Usenet, and finally I arrive, beaten and bruised, at the steps to 
the Linux kernel mailing list, to seek advice from the penguins 
themselves. I humbly prostrate myself .. :)

My first request: Please CC me directly on replies as I am not 
subscribed to the list.

Now to the meat of it; I have been experiencing a lot of trouble with 
system freezes; but these are not crippling freezes in the sense that 
they come back after a few seconds. They are always accompanied by the 
following log in /var/log/messages:

Now, I know what you're thinking, this problem has been reported a lot 
already. But, as I mentioned I have done a lot of searching online 
looking for answers. There are a number of posts which seem like related 
problems, especially if you search Google for "Exception emask". Most of 
these suggest a work-around of putting the following boot options:

noapic acpi=off

Let me assure you already that this workaround did not fix my problems. 
Nor does the flag "combined_mode=libata"; which was suggested elsewhere.

Another post suggests that smartd is the culprit; not only do I have the 
latest version of smartd (which was supposed to fix the issue), but even 
if I disable smartd I still see the same problem.

Yet another post indicates a problem with CD-ROM firmware. I have tried 
disconnecting my CD-ROM from the system, swapping it with another, all 
to no avail.

Yet another another post suggests that the skge (or its predecessor) was 
to blame; so I replaced the network card with another I have, using the 
8139cp driver. I still see the same problem.

Somewhere around this point, I gouged out my eyes and tore out my hair. 
Thank goodness I am good at touch-typing.

What I have noticed, is that I only receive this exception (which seems 
related to disk activity) when my machine is under heavy NETWORK LOAD; 
i.e. when I am downloading the latest kernel (to pick a random example). 
If there is no network activity the machine seems to be fine.

The hard drive which experiences the problems is running off a Maxtor 
Ultra100 IDE controller card (promise-based). It's possible that this is 
the culprit, but I am having a hard time moving the drive off this card 
because I have setup my main partition using LVM (possible, but 
non-obvious). I upgraded its firmware just in case, but that didn't help.

I do not believe that the drive itself has hardware problems because it 
behaves fine when network traffic is not present. Also I did not notice 
this problem until I upgraded to Fedora 7, which I believe was the first 
Fedora distro to change the way the hard drives were represented (from 
the old /dev/hdx system). I also use the following hdparms on the drive:

hdparm -S 120 /dev/sdb

At some point I thought this was the problem, but through trial and 
error I believe it is OK. However it is possible that my sleuthing 
abilities in this department are not up to snuff.

I am looking for any advice which will help me to workaround the 
problem. I am not a kernel developer but I am fine with advanced system 
configuration. I just want to have my smoothly running Linux box back again.

What follows is the usual system information:

(Yes, it's true I have the proprietary nvidia module installed, my 
kernel is unfortunately tainted. I don't think this is the problem but 
if it will help to get to the bottom of things, I will be happy to 
disable it for investigative purposes).

Thank you for any help you may offer.

David
