From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020826 Description of problem: Sometimes after leaving my machine alone for a while and I come back to it, it's all locked up. Fortunately, it's nice enough to leave me a friendly message in /var/log/messages. I haven't seen this problem occur when I roll my own kernel (2.4.19). Unfortunately, I just got a new fancy shmancy high end system and I can't seem to get DMA working with my own kernel. Perhaps you have a newer patch that makes it work than appears in my own. Anyway, the bug. Here's the message it leaves: Oct 3 04:04:37 hostess kernel: VM: refill_inactive, wrong page on list. Oct 3 04:04:37 hostess kernel: VM: refill_inactive, wrong page on list.
