I have experienced just the same thing. I bet you're running kernel
2.2.16-22 - if so, the blame lies solely at the feet of the AppleTalk kernel
module (AppleTalk.o), which contains a slight programming mistake. It's
nothing to do with Netatalk.
If you read the bug report I filed with RedHat, it'll explain further:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25379
In particular, check the link to the kernel development mailing list thread.
That shows the precise problem (and a patch). RedHat have recently brought
out a new kernel package (2.2.17) that may solve the problem, but no-one
there has confirmed this to me yet.
I didn't see this "kmem-grow: called nonatomically" thing when I
installed the Red Hat 2.2.17 upgrade recently. But then, I never saw it
on 2.2.16 (but I was running 2.2.16-3, so that may have been before the
bug was introduced).
