Hi,
        I continue having problems with the memory subsystem in this
        kernel.  My system is a uniprocessor Athlon with 256MB of RAM.
        I will try to reproduce it in pre6(final), but each time is
        more difficult for me to reproduce the BUGS().  Each time they
        are less easily reproducible.

        I have get the following Oops:

kernel BUG at swap_state.c:56!
	if (page->mapping)
		BUG();
And the actual Oops is:

invalid operand: 0000

The second one is the one that I have reported several times to this
list.  It happens just after the first.  It is:

Bad swap file entry 0000bd60
Bad swap file entry 0000bd60
kernel BUG at page_alloc.c:104!
that is: 
	if (page->mapping)
		BUG();

If you need more information, let me know.  

Later, Juan.
