1 cause of the "Aiieee, Killing Interrupt Handler" oops present in 2.0.33
(2.1.x?) is doing alot with an overclocked CPU.

I was playing with the ByteMark benchmarks, and was in quite a giddy/power
craving mood, so I decided to try to squeeze some extra numbers from my
AMD K6 200. I overclocked it to 233 (the highest I could get and still
boot), booted Linux fine, ran some piddly programs with no trouble, then
tried the ByteMarks again.

Then I got the infamous AKIH message.

Just thought I'd like to point that out, since alot of the people on this
list seem to be running AMDs, and that bug has been reported about 7 times
since I subscribed.
