Hi,

I rent a small UML virtual machine and I'm getting panics in mm/rmap.c.
It's running 2.6.23.1 and the panics happen semi regularly, I have not
had an uptime greater than 10 days since July and generally get a panic
most days. Unfortunately I don't have access to recompile the kernel
directly or access to the config. However I do have an actual panic
output[1].

The vm only has 150M of memory and twice that in swap. It runs a few
websites, does email and a few other bits and pieces. 

Generally the load is less than one and most services are tuned to use
as little memory as possible. However I assume the host box is fairly
loaded. The load during the panic was up in the twenties and it seems
that the panics coincide with high load and or high io.

I have run out of ideas and the constant reboots are getting annoying.
All I have to go on is the panic. Anyone got any ideas whats going on?

Please CC me as I'm off the list, thanks :-)

Regards
