  I shudder to think that you really "did a direct copy" from one machine 
and are running the same kernel on a new machine with a different 
architecture. Try building a 2.4.17 or 2.4.19-pre2-ac2 kernel for this 
and see if the problem goes away. 

  When you go to a bright shiney new machine, with a very recent chipset, 
going to a very recent kernel is highly recommended. I don't promise that 
this is fixed, but at least a kernel which fits your hardware will give 
you a fighting chance.

  I bet you're still running your old config files as well, doing 
whatever hardware setup was a good idea for the old machine...
