check for 
corrupt root fs (run fsck.ext3 -y)
hdd/controller/ide-udma-cable damage (swap partition, check with 
smartmontools (run smartctl -a/ -t long) + hdparm (DMA) + lspci (PERR))
right platform for kernel image
outdated gcc version for kernel build
clean rebuild of kernel
latest stable kernel.org version
RAM/MB damage (use a knoppix boot and run memtest86)
BIOS RAM and PCI latency settings (use failsafe settings)

possible sw reason:
invalid function pointer due to kernel mem corruption, 
but unlikely in vmalloc.c

but this looks like a hardware issue.
