Hi,

I am running Redhat 7.1 on a Pentium 125Mhz overdrive chip.  The
machine had been up for 47 days (a record for any of my machines),
with no problems.  I rigged a line from my uncle's old stereo to my
soundcard and was recording off the radio.  The filesystem I was
recording to was mounted over a 100Mbit ethernet LAN via NFS.

I finished recording, and executed 'ls -l' and the only ouput was like
this

total xxxxx
Illegal Instruction

Then I tried ssh'ing to the host from which the filesystem was
mounted, and ssh segfaulted.  Then I logged out, and tried to log back
in, and couldn't log in--it was like I would get logged in, and
immediately exit again.  I'm assuming bash was segfaulting as well.

So I hit CTRL-ALT-DEL to halt the system.  After it came back up, I
found this in the syslog:

Nov 16 20:22:12 mach2 kernel: eth0: Too much work at interrupt, IntrStatus=0x0040.
Nov 16 20:22:13 mach2 last message repeated 4 times
Nov 16 20:26:11 mach2 login(pam_unix)[26443]: session closed for user becky
Nov 16 20:32:56 mach2 kernel: Sound: Recording overrun
Nov 16 20:32:56 mach2 last message repeated 4 times
Nov 16 20:34:40 mach2 kernel: eth0: Too much work at interrupt, IntrStatus=0x0040.
Nov 16 20:35:20 mach2 last message repeated 10 times
Nov 16 20:36:23 mach2 last message repeated 19 times
Nov 16 20:49:46 mach2 last message repeated 4 times
Nov 16 20:50:08 mach2 last message repeated 8 times
Nov 16 21:00:59 mach2 kernel: Sound: Recording overrun
Nov 16 21:01:06 mach2 last message repeated 142 times

Did the sound drivers stomp on some memory that wasn't their's or
something?  Is there anything I can do to prevent this from happening
again?  I'm not used to having to give my Linux box the 'three-finger
salute'!  :)

Thanks,
Ben
