* kernel BUG in "page_alloc.c" with 2.4.19-pre7-ac2

Just a small problem report observed with my Athlon system running
2.4.19-pre7-ac2 under RH 7.2.93 (skipjack beta):

Basically, "page_alloc.c" generated a BUG error when unmounting my
filesystems during a reboot. I wasn't able to capture the full output,
but I hope may be useful to report this anyway. If it happens again I'll
try to grab the details....

But this fault seems *not* to be repeatable - I rebooted several times
with no problems, and my filesystems also appear to be fine.

Cheers
Alastair

Are you using the nvidia driver by chance ?

Umm, yes, as it happens. Forgive my non-kernel hacking ignorance, but I
didn't draw an obvious connection between these things! If it's
somehow the fault of the nVidia driver, then I know enough not to
complain to l-k :-)

90% or more of the times such a BUG happens nvidia
is involved. Maybe not scientific proof but a good indication.
