Found an Oops in 2.4.19-pre7 + lowlatency patch

[Peter Kirk <pwk.linuxfan@gmx.de>]

Hi,

ok, when I boot up my system, then, with a chance of about 1/20 the kernel 
will not boot, but have an Oops instead. I copied it down, and ran it through 
the ksymoops... I hope its usable. If you have questions, just ask back (as I 
dont realy know what information you need)

here is the output of ksymoops:
---------------------------
ksymoops 2.4.5 on i686 2.4.19-pre7-lowlatency.  Options used
     -V (default)
     -k /proc/ksyms (default)
     -l /proc/modules (default)
     -o /lib/modules/2.4.19-pre7-lowlatency/ (default)
     -m /usr/src/linux/System.map (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.
