Igor,
Try adding "noapic" to your GRUB kernel line arguments.
There are apparently several SMB motherboards which do not respond
correctly to the APIC code in the 2.4 kernel. Expressed another way, that
code doesn't properly detect or support the APIC configurations on several
SMP motherboards.
If "noapic" works for you, the similar looking problem fixed by the
2.4.18-4 errata SMP kernel is something else entirely.

I have installed the newer kernel-smp-2.4.18-17.8.0.i686.rpm, but I have
the same result.
Before it I used Red Hat 7.3.
And I have very similar problem (may be the same?) with 2.4.18-3
smp-kernel, but after installing kernel-smp-2.4.18-4.i686 all problems
were solved. ("A few bugs, including one in ext3 that could cause a

I have SMP-system and using ext3 file system. :-)))
