I'm receiving the above error with 2.2.15. The system slows down
tremendously when these errors start appearing during the boot process,
rendering the machine useless. Below is an excerpt from kern.log. (This
kernel also sets the wrong date on the system, but that is another
problem.) Below that is the output from dmesg with the 2.2.14
kernel. This system is an HP NetServer 5/133 LS2 with dual Pentium 133's,
128 MB RAM, SCSI drives, no IDE, using an SMP kernel.
