panic: page fault - 6.1-RC2

Hello,

We have a group of web and mail servers that run under a moderate 
load.  We recently upgraded them from 4/5.x to 6.1-RC2.  While we 
thought we had done enough testing, apparently we hadn't and are now 
experiencing panic's on a number of the servers.  Below are some 
pieces of information that may be helpful.

Should I be posting this to another list as well?

I know I can decrease NMBCLUSTERS dramatically, and give more memory 
to the kernel if that would help.  I am currently testing some 
servers with the NMBCLUSTERS and SHM* SEM* options removed since they 
have been added fairly recently.

I've read a number of similar cases where this panic was related to a 
hardware failure, and while I can't rule that out completely, it does 
seem unusual that several servers are apparently having the same 
problem.  Could it be that hardware problems existed before the 
upgrade, but are now brought out by the increased load caused by the 
new OS version and other installed software?  We have IPMI cards in 
some of the crashing servers and they all report normal temperatures, 
fan speeds, and voltages.  Nothing unusual in the event logs.

I'm willing to dig deeper and do more testing if anyone has suggestions.

Also, in the past I have seen kgdb report the process that caused the 
panic, as well as some other information when first loaded, but 
sometimes it doesn't show that information - am I doing something 
wrong there?  It has shown that information before, and it has always 
been tcpserver from the ucspi-tcp-0.88_2 port.
