[BUG] Linux 2.6.20.1 - unable to handle kernel paging request - accessing freed memory?

[Chris Rankin <rankincj@yahoo.com>]

Hi,

This looks like a memory fault to me; are those 0x6b characters "slab poisoning"? This is the dual
P4 Xeon / 2 GB RAM machine, and I'm guessing that udevd has just loaded snd_rtctimer (because
that's the module at the top of the list):
