Package: kernel-image-2.6.9-1-686-smp Severity: grave Justification: causes non-serious data loss
Under normal use (running kde, konqueor etc) my kernel oops causing the machine to freeze requiring a hard reset. From looking at the oops message (which is attached) i suspect it has something to do with kswapd.
