Re: PROBLEM: kernel BUG at mm/swap_state.c:78! (v2.6.21 under vmware)

[Tom Robinson]

Ok, just to add to the original email - the system has been stable
since I rebooted a couple of days ago, until this morning when I got
the following:

Jun 17 08:47:41 acid kernel: BUG: unable to handle kernel paging

Seems to still be up and running at the moment.

Cheers,

Tom
