My plan is to update both my hardware and my kernel but I wanted to report this bug anyway. Also I can also experience the same problem but with diffrent traces in syslog.

I don't know if this is another bug or the same one. The behavior is the same-- my X server crashes suddenly and the kernel seems to be in a bad state because sometimes after that the machine reboots. > Also does the machine past memtest86 ? I tried that this afternoon and everything seems to be fine on this side. Steph.
