Badness in interruptible_sleep_on in 2.6.2-rc2-mm1

[rwhron@earthlink.net]

Quad P3 Xeon boots with a series of these:

Badness in interruptible_sleep_on at kernel/sched.c:2239
Call Trace:

They repeat over and over.  A login prompt never comes.
I saw this in 2.6.2-rc2-mm1 and 2.6.2-rc1-mm3.  It didn't
occur with 2.6.1-rc1-mm2.  2.6.2-rc1-bk2 was okay too.
