AMD thunderbird oops
I just upgradede my system to an 1200Mhz AMD Athlon Thundirbird (266Mhz FSB) processor / 512Meg of RAM, and an Asus kt7a motherboard.
It is oppsing left and right. I recompiled the kernel with Athelon as the CPU but keep getting these oopses..
I also get these same problems while trying to install RH 7.1
Anyone know is this a supported processor / MB and has anyone had these problems?
Joe please cc me as I am not on this list.

Random oopses normally indicate faulty board cpu or ram (and the fault may even just be overheating or dimms not in the sockets cleanly). I doubt its the board design or model that is the problem, you probably jut have a faulty component somewhere if its oopsing randomly even during installs and stuff
memtest86, and heatsink compound may be your best friends
Athlon TB CPUs >= 1000mhz potentially not stable at all because of great heat-production, without correct hardware maintence - try to check whether Your cpu overheating or cpu cooler make mighty vibration.

Ive found a number of problems can be traced to power supply problems, the board providing a bit of under voltage. Manually adjusting CPU voltage a notch or two up has fixed many a board for me.
Also manually adjusting SDRAM drive strength can help, BIOS sometimes gets this wrong.

as i've said before - i have the same problem too
the memory is OK! - have run memtest86 for hours ... - no errors ... - heatsink - CPU@45°C - Case @ 25°C
after changing the kernel compile to PentiumII (nearly) everything worked fine ....
2.4.6pre5 works as PentiumII but not as Athlon 2.4.5ac16 doesn't work at all - random oopses ......

Works well for me, Athlon 1300 (200Mhz FSB).
Did you check your ram?
