Hello, list.

I have tried everything I can think of, but still can't find an answer
myself. So thought someone here might be having the same problem.
I'm running Gentoo 1.4 on an Athlon XP 1800+, a Soyo DragonPlus MB, and
some other miscellaneous cards.

Problem is, if I let the system running and the load comes to a high
point (load avg at about 2-3), system will eventually come to a crash. I
can reproduce it every time.
Sometimes, there's a message from the kernel (a call to BUG(), an "Aiee!
Killing interrupt handler" message and the system is frozen).
I thought there might be a bug with all the patches applied to the
standard gentoo kernel sources, becuase I tried lots of configurations,
but they all lead to the same hanging.
So, I emerge'd sys-kernel/vanilla-sources, compiled a plain kernel
without any fancy options, but alas... same behaviour.

I have used Linux before on this computer (Debian and Slackware), and
have WinXP installed as well. Gentoo is the only one who's getting
trouble with the machine, so I don't think this could be a hardware
issue (wouldn't windows or the other distros hang as well?).
At the moment, I'm trying recompiling glibc with different CFLAGS, as I
used somewhat high optimization flags to build the majority of the
system.

Instead of using:
CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -m3dnow -msse -mfpmath=sse -mmmx -O3 -pipe -fforce-addr 
-fomit-frame-pointer -funroll-loops -frerun-cse-after-loop -frerun-loop-opt 
-falign-functions=4 -maccumulate-outgoing-args -ffast-math -fprefetch-loop-arrays"

I'm using:

CFLAGS="-mcpu=athlon-xp -O3 -pipe"

Could this be the problem?
