I have been getting this error off and on  with vendor kernel 2.6.8, I have 
posted about it on lkml 3/4 times before. Actually I had offered to provide a 
summary of similar reports from the web with no takers, I can still provide 
that to somebody if it is useful.

 I had run memtest overnight with no errors, I use DRM etc..  The reason to 
post this  is  that very first line in the syslog  entries related to this 
error seems to be different  than before.  {It is typically is kernel BUG at 
mm/rmap.c or sth similar}.  Thanks, 

Jay

P.S. I am getting this error once in 3 days on an average (based on grep of 
moths worth syslog)  so I might have dubious distinction of being more 
repeatable.  May be it confirms Hugh's suspicion of hardware misbehaving but 
I am not ready to accept it yet :-)
