I just looked at my logs and realised I add a similar oops in my log. It
happened a few days ago on 2.6.0-test10 (I failed to notice because
everything seems to work fine).

Here is what I have :

Badness in local_bh_enable at kernel/softirq.c:121
Call Trace:

The previous line in my logs was from my TI acx100 wifi card. It runs
with the experimental driver from http://acx100.sf.net. So if this oops
can be caused by bad driver behaviour, please ignore.

I am using ppp with pppoe on a ne2k-pci network board.

I have smp (dual-p3) and preemption enabled. The kernel is compiled with
gcc 3.3.1-2 from debian sid.
