RH 7.2.99 SkipJack kernel (2.4.18-XX) oops.

[Ben Greear]

I have not seen this in the non-redhat kernels, but that
may be for other reasons.  I did open a bug with RH as well.

Here is the info:

Description of problem:
Using SkipJack kernel and applications, with a DFE 570TX 4-port
NIC (tulip) in an FV24 (SpaceWalker) x86 platform (PIII 1Ghz).
I am running heavy network traffic (~24Mbps bi-directional)

I see this oops and others like it in the kernel.
