I had the same problem in an Athlon 900Mhz, with a MSI MoBo. Tried
Linux 2.4 and 2.6... Then I changed to a dual Athlon MP 1400Mhz on a
Tyan Tiger MoBo. Same problem...

Then I moved to a Pentium 4 2.8Ghz, (I can check later, but I'm almost
sure it's an Asus MB). It's up and running for 5 days without any
problems (or module reloading, or reboot). I also replaced the phone
wires with newer ones, but I don't believe that was causing the Red
Alarm problem. This week, I'll hook up the old cable just to make
sure, but I did read other people complaining about problems on AMD
based systems, and also reporting 100% ok on Intel based... I'm not
happy about this, but life isn't fair.

Marconi.
