That message is likely accompanied by a stack trace.  The contents of that
stack trace will be necessary to diagnose the problem.  Also useful would
be the exact kernel version, and the type of network card you are using.

The best place for this type of request would be Red Hat support.  If you
don't have a support account, then file a bugzilla:
  http://bugzilla.redhat.com/

My first suggestion to you is to ensure that you are running the latest
kernel available, which would be 2.6.9-34.EL for RHEL 4.

Thanks!
