You box should *not* be having LPMC's, from the look of the trap dump it's faulting in the kernel. I have tested 715/33's with all types of kernels and found no problems. Are you sure your memory is okay? Can you please try booting a newer kernel? I would like to see what happens when you boot a 2.6 kernel. Cheers, Carlos.
