2.4.25 SMP - BUG at page_alloc.c:105

[Matthias Andree]

Hi,

I found this in the logs of a Dual Athlon MP machine (Tyan board)
running 2.4.25-SMP:

kernel BUG at page_alloc.c:105! 
invalid operand: 0000

Other than this BUG (that took down the machine hard, I was lucky to log
across the network), there appear to be no relevant logs shortly before
this crash.

What's causing this?
