Scheduling problem

I got back tonight and the screen was filled with 60 lines of the
message:

Aiee: scheduling in interrupt 00124501

and the machine was locked hard. This message appears in
kernel/sched.c. I looked up 00124501 in System.map and it indicated
that this is in function __wait_on_buffer(). This occurred when the
machine had over 12 days of uptime. It happened one time last fall,
too, when the machine had over 10 days of uptime.

This is kernel 2.0.33, with the only modification being addition of
the epic100 module for an SMC EtherPower II 10/100 Ethernet card.

Other details on the machine:

Intel Pentium II/233
Giga Pentium II ATX motherboard
128 MB ECC SDRAM DIMM memory
Adaptec 2940 UW SCSI controller
3 Micropolis 4.3 GB UW SCSI hard drives, running RAID-0 across the disks
Matrox Millenium II 8 MB video card
ViewSonic 17PS monitor
SMC EtherPower II network card
Creative Labs SoundBlaster 64 AWE sound card
Altec-Lansing ACS-31 speakers with subwoofer
Connectix QuickCam video camera
SyQuest SyJet EIDE 1.5 GB cartridge drive
CyberDrive 12X EIDE CD-ROM drive

Thanks for any help.
