There might be a more technical solution, but I had the same problem and was
able to solve it by booting that node diskless.  Just disconnect the hard
drive, and re-boot with the boot disk.  Like I said, there may be a better
way or technical solution, but ".....free_pages" led me to believe it was a
HDD problem.  I booted diskless, and had no problems.
