Good First step:

run up2date

pick a recent stable kernel version, update all your other binaries(do that in two seperate runs so you know what broke what).

Then see if it happens again.

hi ,

There seems to be some problems with your memory modules.

Download memtest86 utility from.http://www.memtest86.com/

And run that utility to test your memory modules. Replace them (one-by-one) in case of errrors or if this kernel error still repeats.

regards,

U.SivaKumar

OK,
If it's not a mem problem, then you should have a problem on your disk access. kswapd show it clearly, it tries to swap to/from Ram and read/write to disk. If you have a problem with your filesystem, then you may encounter this kind of problem.
Try to umount your filesystem, and run e2fsck -f /dev/partition number on it.
You can also use shutdown to allow checking on next reboot :
shutdown -rF now
You're using ext3 filesystem, which makes the filesystem to be read as consistent even if it's not...
