kernel error

[Josh Hunholz]

Hi. We are trying to set up a server (new for us, but used hardware) 
with Fedora Core 3, but when we reboot, we keep getting this error:

newmachine kernel: Badness in interruptible_sleep_on_timeout at 
kernel/sched.c:3005

My first thought was to try to recompile the kernel, but it isn't 
letting us do that either.  Can anyone help me with this error? Or 
explain what type of error it could be? Thanks!
