please take a look at belows BUG_ON()
at a quick glance didn't find a patch for that in git-commits-list.
belows kernel has all fixes from the latest 2.6.14.3 stable.

Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.14-4
Severity: serious

The following error happens on Debian Installer boot in vmware (386 kernel).
This problem was not present in -3.

The system does come up after the error, but it looks so basic (memory
management AFAICT) that I've set RC severity anyway.
Feel free to adjust if you disagree.

Cheers,
FJP
