kernel BUG in __cache_alloc_node at linux-2.6.git/mm/slab.c:3177!

[Will Schmidt <will_schmidt@vnet.ibm.com>]

Hi Folks, 
    Am seeing a crash on a power5 LPAR when booting the linux-2.6 git
tree.  It's fairly early during boot, so I've included the whole log
below.   This partition has 8 procs, (shared, including threads), and
512M RAM.  

A bisect claims: 
765c4507af71c39aba21006bbd3ec809fe9714ff is first bad commit
commit 765c4507af71c39aba21006bbd3ec809fe9714ff

    [PATCH] GFP_THISNODE for the slab allocator

Am willing to dig deeper, but looking for pointers on what to poke next.

Thanks, 
-Will
