SubjectRe: 2.4.19 OOPS [Repost]
Hi,

The problem just came back. I got a couple of identical oopses.

They all fail _immediately_ after returning from swap_free().
badblocks -w ran fine on the swap partition, and to my knowlege
I'm not running any applications that might be playing with the disk.
What else could be causing it?

Swap is about 530MB. /tmp is on tmpfs.

Regards,
Sapan
