I'm running debian 3 on a 486 DX4-100 with 2.4.18 and it complains that
there is 'Too much work at interrupt' which I think is related to the
network card (rtl8139) but I never had this problem with redhat7 on 2.2.19
or FreeBSD 3.  I assumed it was the kernel and added the preempt patch to
try and help it out but I still get the problem (although not as much).
