Dear All, As per the subject line, I have been experiencing this for the past two weeks now.

System will crash leaving no core dumps for me to submit a backtrace. I even have a 700MB file handy whenever I feel the mood to crash my 4.7-RELEASE. As of yesterday, i cvsup'ed to 4.7-RELEASE-p1, and I noticed a variant of the symptoms. Transferring the 700MB file will still cause a kernel panic with no core dumps, but upon re-booting when I tried to start my vmware, the system will crash again. I have the backtrace for this (submitted below). (The vmware session is whatever my GNOME Desktop can recover from the previous session. I have to gracefully shut the session down and re-start it in order to get my vmware to behave as normal. NOTE: I am ruling out faulty hardware since I dont get this behaviour if I re-boot with 4.6.2-RELEASE kernel. I do get some "vmemory usage" errors, but I guess this is expected when the kernel and the world is out of sync. Also, the trace below is the same for the the 3 savecore's i had in my dumpdir. I do appreciate it if someone can look over this.
