Kernel paging errors



I'm running a Debian Sarge installation, with the 2.4.22-1-386 kernel. Its a fairly lightweight server, running SSH and our accounting software. I'm very unfamiliar with the error reporting of Debian, so bear with the stupid questions and conclusions.

I'm getting recurring kernel errors, that disappear for a while on reboot. The error starts with "Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address". Its initial EIP varies, but once the errors started the EIP remains the same until I reboot. However, it hits many different processes, so I'm assuming the problem is something to do with a common library.

I'm at a loss as to the source of these errors. I've dug around with Google, without luck. The memory and hard drive are both fully tested, and work fine.
