Have an HP Proliant DL380 that has started to oops with the following messages:
Mar 31 23:21:44 db01-01 kernel: Page has mapping still set. This is a serious situation. However if you Mar 31 23:21:44 db01-01 kernel: are using the NVidia binary only module please report this bug to Mar 31 23:21:44 db01-01 kernel: NVidia and not to the linux kernel mailinglist.

The "nv" module isn't used, so that's not the problem...
I've seen limited references to this problem, although some hint that it may be a memory failure on the machine. Has anyone else worked this problem and can confirm or deny that?
Has happened now on kernels kernel-smp-2.4.21-37.0.1.EL and kernel-smp-2.4.21-40.EL.
Thanks in advance for any opinions. -Alan
