There is no BUG on this line on 2.6.24-rc5.   Since there are many
BUG_ONs in this file it is unclear which you mean.

Could you always include the version of the kernel where the actual
oops in the line came from?

in this case this is really all the version information available ;(
it seems to be a patched kernel without patched EXTRAVERSION.
But in the future if I have more specific information (eg it's only 1 kernel version) I'll mention it in more detail.
It gets unwieldy if there's 500 reports for an oops of course ;)


Anyways there are a lot of third party modules who do strange things with c_p_a(), not always legal, so you might look up out for that pattern too. Perhaps report the out of tree modules loaded in the summary too?

I already always will mention if the oops is tainted or not (that I track specifically);
I'll keep an eye out for other non-tainting out of tree modules as well.

Thanks for the suggestions.
