HELP! VM?

[Kristian Rink <celestial_spirit@web.de>]

Hello everyone...
Right back from work, seeing that our file / print server running Debian
2.2r1 lately is, like, DOS'ing itself frequently each day while filling the
local tty same as the log files with error messages like

VM: do_try_to_free_pages failed for <process-name>

For what I already know about Linux kernel, I assume that VM == virtual
memory management, and I also more or less understood this paging thing...
My question: *Why* is this happening, where to lay my hands on to get this
fixed? Is it a problem of my system RAM, of the swap partition or of system
kernel on this rather strange system motherboard (some older system out of
a former server by Acer ....)? 
It's sort of annoying, this thing, since each time the system is spitting
out those messages, the server is not available for any network or local
request... Any help, hints or whatever would be kindly appreciated. :)

Thanks in advance, bye, have a nice evening.
Kris
