Hi Ray,
Can you please apply the patch I recently posted and report back.
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=109926628920398
The patch fixes a bug reported earlier. However, earlier oops were triggered at mm/prio_tree.c:538.
I haven't looked at the trace carefully. I will do so. Please report back if the previous patch fixes your problem.
Thanks, Rajesh

Description of problem: Running on an HP DL140, w/ Dual 2.4GHz Xeon's. 1GB of ECC DDR. Fedora Core 2.
This server operates as a PPTP Concentrator running the PoPToP server (1.2.1) along with pppd 2.4.3. We have tried this system using both the onboard Broadcom gigabit NIC's as well as a dual Intel EEPro 100.
Usually within 24 hours of bootup, the following oops occurs:

The system continues to function for approxiamately another minute. I see messages such as the following on the console repeatedly:
dst cache overflow
Eventually the system becomes completely unresponsive. When I hit the power button, ACPI tries to power down the system, but hangs after killing a few processes and I must hard reset it.
I do not think this is bad hardware as we have approximately 11 DL140's and this will happen on all of them although more quickly on the ones with higher user load (network traffic, CPU usage, etc).
Hoping someone can give me some suggestions if this is more likely to be a hardware issue... just can't imagine getting that many bad servers. :)
