2.6.21-rc7-mm2 crash: Eeek! page_mapcount(page) went negative! (-1)

From: Tilman Schmidt
Date: Sat Apr 28 2007 - 14:01:30 EST

With kernel 2.6.21-rc7-mm2, my Dell Optiplex GX110 (P3/933) regularly
crashes during the SuSE 10.1 startup sequence. When booting to RL5,
it panicblinks shortly after the graphical login screen appears.
Booting to RL3, it hangs after the startup message:

Starting Firewall Initialization (phase 2 of 2)

(the last message before "runlevel 3 has been reached") logging this:

separated by 20 or 40 second pauses, before rebooting spontaneously.

2.6.21-rc7-mm1 crashed too. 2.6.21 runs fine.

Please let me know if you need more information or want me to test
anything.
