I had the nvidia 1.0-6629 driver loaded when I got that error. I
compiled the kernel using the slackware 10.1 config, enabled highmem 4GB
support, highmem i/o, and then some kernel hacking options including
debugging for highmen related things.

I booted, loaded X with KDE, opened firefox a few times, and then
started running hdparm because some newer 2.4.x kernels dont play nice
with my SATA, ICH5, and DMA. hdparm segfaulted while running the drive
read access portion of its tests, and things locked up from there in
about 30secs.

I've gotten the same error with the nvidia driver not loaded, so I dont
think that is part of the problem.

As I said, if you want me to test or try anything feel free to ask. =)
