SubjectRe: PROBLEM: kernel BUG at mm/rmap.c:486 - kernel 2.6.15-r1
Just for closure's sake:
This turned out to be a hardware problem.
Memtest86+ http://www.memtest.org/ found an intermittent and
pattern-sensitive memory error,
and only appearing at one or two random locations within the 256M module.
Replacing the dodgy RAM module did the trick.
