looks like the disk may have some bad sectors. apparently it died when
trying to swap .. i have a similar problem on one of my boxes, everytime it
ran updatedb it would give an oops with swapper as the process, but it
would not crash(luckily!) i disabled crontab for updatedb and haven't seen
the problem since.(dont have time to fix it yet)
