Most likely you ran out of memory or your hardware is broken (bad ram, overheating box,...). ppc herd, known problem? Are the compiler flags sane?
Make sure that if you enabled preempt in your kernel you _also enabled SMP_ (even if you only have _one_ cpu!) otherwise you will get lots of strange behaviour like this one. Adding '-fno-strict-aliasing' to CFLAGS is also a good idea.
> Most likely you ran out of memory yes i did. guess how stupid i felt when i discovered all the oomkills in dmesg...
