kernel failure/oops
Booted the machine this afternoon, and in gnome I get a message that
goes something like this: Your kernel has had a failure, do you wish to
send the stack trace to kerneloops.org (or whatever)? I said yes.
Here is the oops/trace (if those are the proper terms) from /var/log/kern.log:

Is there anybody who can tell me what this signifies? This machine is
two months old.
I have the feeling that nobody will be able to say whether this is
hardware, software, bad karma, or all of the above. There will be
nothing to do but ensure proper backups have been made and wait.
Anyway.
