Hi;

This does look suspicious, but it is reproducible for 3 systems
with completely different boards, memory, and CPUs so I don't
think it is memory in this case although it might be related
to how memory is used in general.  I should mention a little
more about the hardware though:

        IDE disks
        raidtools-0.90-6

I will go put in some debug statements to see if I can flush
out more things so to speak.

I attached one of the other kernel oops but they are consistent
and reproduceable.

thanks for the suggestion though,
Scott

Sync buffers oopsing there most likely means that a bad bit flip has
corrupted the buffer list. I would suspect hw problems in this case,
you should run some memory tests as this is most likely where the
problem
is.
