kernel bug slab.c:570

[Scott A. Sibert]

I have an HP Pavilion 8766 (P3/933 w/384MB and 40gb hd) and I started
installing fedora test3.

Somewhere after or during the "Copy install image to hard drive" it
crashed with this info:

---------------------------------------------

In the line after "stackp" where I have XXXXXX there were red block
characters and no text was available.  I realize that part of this info
above is what was on the screen when it crashed (like the line with
<Tab>/<Alt-Tab>) but I've tried to copy down all the numbers correctly.
I got someone else to double-check me.

I could not find anything in bugzilla referencing slab.c:570 but I
wanted to check here first.
