Description of problem: AMDFX-55 2GB ram (memtest86+ verified OK) Nforce4 motherboard I got a kernel panic during install of rawhide March 9th 2006, I did another install that went OK. I setup netconsole/netdump and then ran the "stress" program to put memory, cpu, and I/O load on the box. After several hours this showed up: slab: Internal list corruption detected in cache 'journal_head'(59), slabp f0fb7000(2097211).

This is probably the Maxtor SATA II and Nvidia nforce4 incompatibility problem.
