I tested some more and found this.
It is XFree86 4.1.0 DRI (tdfx driver) related.
During my first run I used the 2.4.5-ac14 kernel DRM module.
Now I am running with the latest DRI trunk DRM module.
Both show the same symptoms.
After system and first Xserver start everything is fine.

Sort of necessary when you have 1gb of RAM. My machine is also a dual
CPU box.

Well, I'm running XFree86 4.1.0 DRI with the Radeon driver and I don't
show the symptoms. I use the Radeon module from DRI on SourceForge.
Have you tried it with CONFIG_HIGHMEM in the kernel?

Yes, this is nasty. The appended patch fixes that. (I am not really
happy to need the PG_marker flag for writepage.)
The patch also fixes two other problems:
- shmem_file_setup has to check the given size. Else we can corrupt
kernel memory on 64bit machines. (Thanks to Oliver Paukstadt for
detecting this)
- shmem_remount_fs does not initialize the parameters and thus
corrupts the sizes (detected by Joris van Rantwijk)
Alan, please apply.
Greetings
Christoph

Because right now I dont consider the 2.4.6 page cache ext2 stuff safe
enough to merge. I'm letting someone else be the sucide squad.. so far it
looks like it is indeed fine but I want to wait and see more yet

It has been working relatively well for me in benchmarks (I'm actually
using 2.4 ext3 for my real filesystems, with backups of course ;-).
Performance of the page-cache directories up for directory operations,
but strangely file read performance is down. Anyone else noticed this?
I saw this repeatedly using the reiserfs mongo benchmark.
Cheers, Andreas

But wouldn't be safe/possible/viable to merge 2.4.6-pre partially, excluding
the page cache stuff for the moment?
IMHO, the 2.4.6-pre has important improvements, and it would be difficult to
merge to it later.
Just a stupid opinion. No offenses.

If you look closely, some of the good things in 2.4.6-pre3 were backported
by Marcelo and included in 2.4.5-ac15
