Ben Harris, as per
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng&ProductFamily=Server+Products&ProductLine=Intel%C2%AE+Server+Boards&ProductProduct=Intel%C2%AE+Server+Board+S5500WB
an update is available for your BIOS (63;61;16 1/8/2013). If you update
to this during your maintenance window, does it change anything?

If not, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  Oops: unable to handle kernel paging request at 00007d7d; EIP
  __kmalloc_track_caller+0xab/0x1d0

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  We just suffered a string of kernel oopses followed by a crash on one
  of our login servers.  I've attached the log messages recorded by our
  syslog server.  Shortly after these messages were produced, the server
  went dead to the network (our monitoring system detected this at
  10:13:24) and when checked its display was blank and could not be
  woken up.

  Unfortunately, we don't know how to reproduce this problem, but it seems to have occurred while a user was logging in.  We use a customised CIFS module to mount users' home directories, but the crash occurred before the user's home directory was mounted, so we don't think that's the cause of the problem.
