I do know that reading the trace is difficult, but the asked for information
is down in there. Intentionally put there by the kernel-oops coders, I presume.

I do use vendor kernels, and Fedora 12 beta program has not yet made
2.6.32-rc1 kernel available.

However this does not appear in 2.6.31.1-56.fc12.x86_64 kernel that is lattest
from vendor, but there I have some other troubles why I took a bit older kernel.
(Other troubles with the xfs filesystem lock handling.)
