Regarding the same system as the below previous oops problem we were
seeing with 2.2.13pre13:

I've since upgraded to 2.2.13pre17 and we are no longer seeing the oops
in the quoted message, however now after about a week of running this version,
this morning we got this message and the system locked up (although we could
still ping it):

lexington kernel: Kernel panic: Free list corrupted
lexington kernel: Kernel panic: Free list corrupted

Unfortunately it logged no panic output at all. I have a serial
console on the box to catch oops that don't make it to the logs and/or screen
but even the serial console didn't log anything but this message. The system
configuration is in the below quoted message if this helps.
-Scott
