PROBLEM: 2.6.0-t11-bk8 GPF

Hello,

I am getting crashes on 2.6.0-test11-bk8, started to happen after a memory uprade to 2GB (from 1GB)
and turning on the HIGHMEM (4GB) support.

The server is UP AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 244, board is MSI KT800 (VIA chipset),
SATA 250GB drive.

I was doing a little stress-test over samba trying to use as io cache as possible.
(copied several 1GB files from the server)

the server does not run any fancy applications, just non-loaded www, imap, smtp, ftp...

I am not sure what relevant information should I provide, I'd be happy to help to track this
down, of course - if it is not hardware related :-(

hmm.. interesting (but maybe unrelated stuff) in the dmesg is:
