Hi,

I have recently seen similar problems...

If you are using a 2.4.20 kernel, you do not have to recompile i2c: just
comment out MX_OBJS in the makefile, and this problem should be fixed.

Remove #include <malloc.h> and this one should be fixed

The same thing happened to me too, and I discovered that the oops was
due to the usb drivers (removing all the usb-related modules should
help) and to a corrupted binary microcode (check that your
altera_keb_plx_5e.rbf and MPEG1_6.HLD are ok).
