How do I report these? I get about one a day,

typically while in Firefox

and
doing something else.  The machine locks up

tight (flashing num and

scroll
locks) and requires power cycling and nothing

seems to get logged. Abrt

doesn't see it after restart.

I have had this problem in the past with Fedora 9, I believe using ATI graphics cards. I tracked it down to glxgears (posted to this group then) getting invoked and eliminated it to get around this problem. Specifically, I did

yum erase glx-utils

This may not work for you because you may use glxgears for something but it did work for me.

Best wishes,

The same here:
Linux ***.** 2.6.30.9-102.fc11.i586 #1 SMP Thu Dec

3 23:46:37 EST 2009

i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
And yes, Firefox is not always involved. I've

already asked the

question on this list (haven't received any

responses).

How do you know it's kernel panic?

When the machine locks up, the caps-lock and

scroll-light both flash. What's

really annoying is that if I'm playing music, it gets

really weird and

scares the cats.

Do you have desktop effects enabled? I found that my system
is much
more stable with desktop effects turned off [1]. My video
is ATI [2]
with driver 'ati' [3].
