2.4.8 kernel oops

[Garrett Marone]

More then how to fix this, I would like to know why this is happening, If you 
need more information then this, I can easily recreate the screen.

md: stopping all md devices.

Machine is a Celeron 500, NCR scsi controller, 196MB ram, 9.1GB hd, SiS 
Chipset.

This same kernel runs just fine on a different machine, the 2.2.19 kernel 
works fine on both machines, this is an SMP kernel, but the machines are 
single processor.  this only happens on reboot, or shutdown, Otherwise, the 
machine runs fine. 
Thank you for your time.
