Bug Description

A crash that threw me (from the desktop) into the console to show the Oops. Hasn't happened before as to my knowledge, looks different from bug #917668 (which I'm affected by), but similar to bug #886706 (and bug #495322), but kernel bugs are too much out of my league to tell for sure.

Wasn't doing anything specific that I could reproduce this with currently. At least Chromium, Transmission and Rhythmbox were active during the time.

Syslog has some data, I'll attach it manually if apport doesn't bring it in automatically.

I'll happily do further testing and/or log uploads at request.

Forgot to mention I could reboot after the crash with Alt+PrtSc+REISUB (if that matters).

Thank you for taking the time to file a bug report on this issue.

However, given the number of bugs that the Kernel Team receives during any development cycle it is impossible for us to review them all. Therefore, we occasionally resort to using automated bots to request further testing. This is such a request.

We have noted that there is a newer version of the development kernel than the one you last tested when this issue was found. Please test again with the newer kernel and indicate in the bug if this issue still exists or not.

You can update to the latest development kernel by simply running the following commands in a terminal window:

    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get upgrade

If the bug still exists, change the bug status from Incomplete to Confirmed. If the bug no longer exists, change the bug status from Incomplete to Fix Released.

If you want this bot to quit automatically requesting kernel tests, add a tag named: bot-stop-nagging.

 Thank you for your help, we really do appreciate it.

There is a test kernel available for this bug at:
  http://people.canonical.com/~apw/lp922906-precise/

Can you test this kernel and report back in bug 922906 where or not the test kernel resolved this bug?
