Newby help. Tons and tons of Oops

I'm not really that much of a newby (2 years of linux) but I am a newby to kernel dumps.
I'm running Redhat 7 with the latest kernel compiled using kgcc. I get many many oops, lockups and mysterious reboots. Can anybody help me determine what is causing this from ksymoops output below. I thought it might be something with my swapper file so I deleted and recreated the partition. I still have the same problem. This system was rock solid under 6.2 but is pretty much useless now. This is pnly the last couple of Oops after a reboot. I have dozens in my messages file. :(

I ran it for overnight without an error. I'm not sure if it is supposed to show an error on screen or not but it didn't. I also had my usual pile of Oops overnight as well. 116 of them. :(

I'm running 2.4.0test11pre3. but the kernel shipped with Redhat 7 doesn't work either. When I was running 2.2.15 and RedHat 6.2 before upgrading it worked great. Never had an oops ever.
I ran a memory checker under dos as well and it didn't find anything. Any tips?

Could you please check:
1/ if memtest really worked, as I had problems with 2.4 (in fact, it wasn't launched, I had to downgrade to 2.3 for having a test) (have you seen a scrolling bar of '#' ?) (anyway, i'm sending 2.3 binary privatly) 2/ your hardware internal temperature (put your hand into the box) 3/ if every cable is correctly plugged in

It looks to me like an hardware failure, not a software one.

Arnaud.

I ran memtest through 15 cycles without finding anything.
I guess that's good. ;) I pasted a bunch more Oops below to see if it helps any.

I just noticed these errors in my log as well. Something is weird with my swapping I think. If I get Oops that say "Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address ff7f1014" would that not be swap since it is virtual?
The errors that make me think it may be with my swapper are as follows.

Nov 12 21:12:51 phlegmish kernel: swap_free: Trying to free nonexistent 
swap-page
Nov 12 21:12:51 phlegmish kernel: swap_free: Trying to free nonexistent 
swap-page
Nov 14 02:57:28 phlegmish rc.sysinit: Enabling swap space:  succeeded 
Nov 14 03:01:51 phlegmish kernel: swap_free: offset exceeds max
Nov 14 03:01:51 phlegmish kernel: swap_free: offset exceeds max

swap-page
Nov 14 03:17:37 phlegmish kernel: swap_free: Trying to free nonexistent 

swap-page

And so on......
I tried deleting my swap partiton and recreating it but that made no difference. Any ideas or things to try?

Thanks for the help so far
Dave

Trying to track down a hardware conflict since the memtest went fine. Does this look normal or can you recommend a place where I can get help tracking this down? Is it normal to have so many devices on IRQ 9?
