The machine I'm having problems with seems to boot normally and will
operate normally for a couple of minutes, a couple of hours, but it seems
to vary.  When the machine fails, the console displays this:

Pages and pages of these errors.  I believe this machine has an intel
motherboard and P3 processor, 1Gig of ram and Tekram DC390u2w scsi card in
it.  I have tried swapping the hard drive with a new drive and got the
same result.  Any suggestions?
