I'm having two noticeable problems with the current linus' tree

1) Oops while watching a DVD with kaffeine (kde based video player),

From your oops it looks as though the radix_tree_lookup in find_get_page
has returned 0x40. It could be a flipped bit - is your memory OK?

Can you apply the attached patch and try to reproduce the oops?

2) This is a dual p3 machine, but only one CPU is being used to
run processes on it. CPU #1 is detected etc, but processes will
be scheduled only in CPU #0. /proc/interrupts shows that CPU #1 is
still used to service interrupts. I'm able to force processes to run
on that CPU with taskset but it won't happen automatically like it
usually does. dmesg here: http://terra.es/personal/diegocg/dmesg


What happens if you run several infinite loops to increase the load?
Does everything still stay on CPU0?
