Can somebody tell me, what is wrong exactly?

I can't tell you exactely what's wrong unfortunately, but after
looking at your dump & dmesg I notice two things that might be worth
trying to change :

1) You seem to be running without any swap space at all. I't usually a
good idea always to have some swap configured - try adding a swap
file.
(note: I don't think this will help with your current problem, it's
just a good thing to do generally).

2) You should try the latest stable kernel. Currently that's 2.6.16.18
(http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.16.18.tar.bz2).
There have been lots of fixes added since 2.6.15.x and perhaps you are
lucky that whatever is giving you trouble  has already been fixed in
that kernel.


Anyway, i interested about, how can i -a single user- interpret these dump
to made error reporting more useful?

You can find some info in Documentation/sysrq.txt &
Documentation/oops-tracing.txt .
As for posting good error/bug reports, please read the REPORTING-BUGS
file in the root of the kernel source dir.
