I think your situation is not uncommon - for that version: just do the following click, and u can see many similar problem arises eg, 2.6.19 etc. http://www.google.com/search?q=%22Bad+page+state+in+process%22+site%3Alkml.org&btnG=Google+Search The bad state happened in different kernel threads. And then following one of the email: http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/11/10/135 and the problem was resolved here: http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/11/10/208 perhaps.....u can further on these different solutions?
