It now seems that I have a somewhat reliable way of reproducing this issue, using the CLI-based Usenet binary downloader, HellaNZB. Methodology:
1. Using standard Gnome interface, load several NZB files into the HellaNZB queue folder [NZBs contain references to Usenet binaries for easy downloading] 2. Drop to text console using ctrl-alt-F1 3. Start HellaNZB, which begins to download the Usenet binaries, and wait for kernel panic to occur Using this method, I am able to provide the following updated info: > 1. Try rebooting to a known working kernel right after reproducing the problem and see if any backtrace was logged to /var/log/kern.log.0. Please attach this file if anything was captured. Based on timestamps, no info was collected in /var/log/kern.log.0 related to the most recent reproduction of this issue. > 2. When no clues found in /var/log/kern.log.0, supply a digital photo of the > screen to capture the crash. For this, you would need to be in text mode when it happens. If at some point, you have a way to reproduce it, just ctrl-alt-f1 to get to the text console, and reproduce the bug.
