Kernel Bug? - Was [Yum is hosed on x86_64 system...]

Hi All, My system was having some problems before [see below message], but now I am getting the below message anytime I try to do anything on my system: [pulled from /var/log/message] Oct 31 04:02:43 f7-64 kernel: ------------[ cut here ]------------ Oct 31 04:02:43 f7-64 kernel: kernel BUG at mm/memory.c:972!
