  Oo I've rarely seen such useless bug reports, could you _AT LEAST_ say
what the "error message" is ? how are we supposed to fix a problem if
the sole thing we know is "dang we have a problem".

  Unless we do have proper informations, we can do nothing but close
this bug.


  Note that if it's another instance of the RHEL 2.6.9 kernel bug, then
deal with it, there is nothing we can do about it, see other bugs about
that.
