 I had the very same thing occur once with my Shuttle HOT433 486/PCI board with a
Adaptec 2940 it would run fine then out of nowhere I'd get weird errors like GPF
fault, Segmentation fault and the horror you described. I replaced the PCI SCSI
with a ISA SCSI and my problems went away.
 BTW what CPU are you running? I've got a AMD-133 in mine.
