while testing new images, I get this:
http://users.edpnet.be/dieter/vbox-or-kernel-or-mkinitcpio-bug.png

the error messages show up in google results and seem to be bugs in the
Linux swap code and/or drivers.

interestingly, at first aif/dialog/mkinitcpio/find just keep running,
but after a while the processes just vanish. dmesg doesn't say
anything about OOM killer, but i get login prompts where i used to
have a terminal with aif/initcpio running.

dmesg here: http://sprunge.us/YWQS
any advice?
i can probably workaround it by using more ram, but still...
