Do you think this bug is due to the 2.6.18 upgrade?
Have you run fsck across the filesystem(s)?
Does the oops always look the same as this one?
Please turn on the various CONFIG_DEBUG_* options, see if that turns up
anything.
It would be interesting to find out if enabling CONFIG_4KSTACKS makes this
go away (although I'm not sure why).
This looks more like a bug in the CPU scheduler than in the filesystem.
p->thread_info is NULL in scheduler_tick()'s first call to
set_tsk_need_resched(), at line 3008.
Thanks.
