system freezes

[Duane Evenson]

My system keeps freezing. This has been an issue since I moved to 2.6.x.
I've tried various 2.6 kernels and various rebuilds.

I don't know enough to know even where the problem is originating
although it seems somewhere in memory management.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Here is the kernel log information:
