2.6.12-rc4 OOPS EIP is at free_block

[Shane Shrybman]

Hi, (Please CC me on replies)

New nforce2 board (Asus A7N8X-X) is not stable. Memory has passed 33
loops through memtest+. I have disabled the onboard LAN and have stopped
the NFS server on the system. I have googled and googled and tried
nolapic, noapic, acpi=off... I am not using 4K stacks or regparm config
options.

Are there any issues with device-mapper stripping and ext3 maybe? or
with nforce2 boards and the bttv driver?

Here is a typical oops, any insights appreciated.
