Thomas, try recompiling your kernel with the 3dnow optimization line
commented out in arch/i386/config.in .

This has solved the crashes for me, but in my case, they are more severe.

I believe Alan has already commented on VIA problems and the problems with
their chipsets.. ahh, found it
"We believe its a VIA chipset problem. Don't expect anything to happen on
this front"

This bums me out. AS i am using ABIT kt7a-raid with the kt133a chipset, and
3dnow kernel optimizations and i oops right as i boot (sometimes before i
complete any init-scripts).

Anyways... I am confirming a problem with my via chipset and 3dnow
optimizations. VIA82CXXX in kernel support not affecting outcome.

Let me know if i don't make sense.
