"failed to create swap_zone" 6.2-STABLE SMP Kernel

I note that this problem has appeared in the past and am wondering
if there is a resolution:
Running 6.2-STABLE on a machine that ran 4.11 flawlessly. I am seeing the
message "failed to create swap_zone" right after the 2nd CPU gets
enabled on a Dell PowerEdge 1300. The system blows out and reboots
therafter. This same configuration works fine on a more modern Intel
MOBO with a Pentium D, so I'm guessing the problem is hardware dependent.
Booting a generic kernel works fine on the PowerEdge.
The source code is latest STABLE as of earlier today.
Has anyone else seen this and/or is there a workaround?
My exact kernel config is:
include SMP
options IPFIREWALL
options IPDIVERT
options VESA
# System console options
options SC_DISABLE_REBOOT # disable reboot key sequence
options SC_HISTORY_SIZE=200 # number of history buffer lines
options SC_PIXEL_MODE # add support for the raster text mode
# The following options will change the default colors of syscons.
options SC_NORM_ATTR="(FG_GREEN|BG_BLACK)"
options SC_NORM_REV_ATTR="(FG_YELLOW|BG_GREEN)"
options SC_KERNEL_CONS_ATTR="(FG_RED|BG_BLACK)"
options SC_KERNEL_CONS_REV_ATTR="(FG_BLACK|BG_RED)"
TIA,
