No, swapper is the idle task and I don't think it has anything to do
with the oops - it simply happens to be the currently running process
when the oops happens. And the kernel should be handling swapless
configurations just fine for the cost of slowing down when RAM is
depleted or OOM killing a memory hog.

Enabling swap on raid1 might need a bit more work, see here:
http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/5898
Anyways, let me know what happens and especially if it appears again.
Now you say it doesn't happen anymore but le me ask: is this still the
gentoo kernel or is it a vanilla one?
Thanks.
