Greetings; Well, merging all the advice together I have solved this problem.
The patch someone pointed me to (sorry, I lost that note!) for 2.4.20 also applied to the sources that Adam pointed me to, and both of my debian-390 systems have been up for nearly four straight days. A record for the year 2003! That is without setting busy loops and such. Thanks to all who helped me with the original "kernel BUG at swap.c:62!" problem and getting this fix on! Dennis
