It makes me less concerned about any possible overheating, but if you wanted to be paranoid about it, you could get another heat probe to double check the readings from the first one ;-).

Here is what I have done:
1.) Disable Network controller on the motherboard and install another
one on PCI bus - this eliminate possible IRQ conflict.
But it didn't help.

2.) Removed the heatsink clean it with 99% isopropyl alcohol and applied
thin layer of new heatsink grease.

Nothing helped, still getting that message:
Kernel panic - not syncing: Aiee, killing interupt handler.

Next option, is to try to remove SATA drive and try to install Gentoo on
standard IDE drive; this would eliminate SCSI problem and/or buggy
driver.

Does anybody has any other solutions?
