This is unusual; I'm having trouble very close to this area. There is
a remote chance it could be the same problem.

Could you log this to serial and get the rest of the oops/BUG? If it's
where I think it is, I've been looking at end_page_writeback() and so
might have an idea or two.
I tried 2.5.70-mm1 on the dual celeron at home.  This one has
scsi instead of ide, so I guess it is a RAID-1 problem.
This machine has root on raid-1 too.  I believe there where
several oopses in a row, I captured all of the last one
thanks to a framebuffer with a small font. Here it is:

Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 8a8a8ab6
*pde=0 OOPS 0000 [#1]
EIP at put_all_bios+0x47/0x80
(edx was the register containing 8a8a8a8a)
Process swapper pid=0 threadinfo c1352000 task=c13f52d0
Call trace:
raid_end_bio_io
raid1_end_request
That's POISON_BEFORE: "use of uninitialised memory", not "use of freed
memory".

I fiddled with the slab poisoning values, and shall undo that.
