Abit KT7A, kernel oops right after boot... :(  Can be solved to turning off 
'Enhance Chip Performance' in the BIOS, but then our chip performance is 
un'Enhance'd, and we can't have that!  So back to the K6 kernel.

Yeah, it's occurred to me, but it's yet to happen.  I fought with the thing 
for 48 hours, and after settling on a K6 kernel w/'Enhanced' enabled, I've 
not had a single problem.  I suppose it's possible that I've not seen the 
problem, but I've put this box through it's paces many times over since I 
settled.  I gave it another go with 2.4.6-pre3 this morning, hoping something 
had snuck in ;)
