I also have seen the Kernel BUG at highmem.c:155 problem on a machine I am testing. It is a Dell 8 processor P-III 700Mhz with 8GB of memory and Linux 2.4.3 + a knfsd and quota patch for reiserfs. When doing 5 simultaneous kernel compiles from another machine mounting the 8 processor one over nfs the 8 processor machine hung with an error message somewhat like
nfsd: terminating on signal 2 kernel BUG at highmem.c: 155! invalid operand: 0000 CPU: 6
I apologize for the nearly useless error information, but I am 5000 miles and 7 time zones away from this machine, so I have to depend on others for getting me on console information until I can get it moved over to a serial console.
>Occassional lockups lasting 5-20 seconds were experienced when working on the >box under 2.4.2 but seem to be much better in 2.4.3.
The machine is also having these odd lockup problems under intense disk IO, but I will detail that in another message (look for "kswapd, kupdated, and bdflush at 99%").
Any advice to alleviate this problem would be appreciated, and I will provide any more information I can upon request.
