I did but it didn't give any more info.  The problem is that I had no
 /var/log/ksymoops directory (used for automatic dumping of symbol info), so
 after the reboot I couldn't tell ksymoops where the modules were loaded... 
 I am now trying to reproduce the oops and get more info.

It suggests a locking problem, but it may be misleading: imagine the oops
came when a spin lock was held, then couldn't you get this message?

All the best,

Duncan.
