Description of problem: Was using mplayer to listen to some mp3s, with a couple browsers (konqueror and firefox), as well as konsole, open. Was not actively using computer; when I sat back down at the console, noticed that there had been an oops, so unfortunately no idea what caused it. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.15-1.2041_FC5.i686 How reproducible: Unknown Additional info: Will run memtest tonight per normal procedure, but after the last (different) oops I reported (Feb 5, bug 180064) memtest didn't turn up anything, so if it's a hardware problem it's something funky.

In the last few updates, some users upgrading from FC4->FC5 have reported that installing a kernel update has left their systems unbootable. If you have been affected by this problem please check you only have one version of device-mapper & lvm2 installed. See bug 207474 for further details. If this bug is a problem preventing you from installing the release this version is filed against, please see bug 169613.

Closing this ancient report of mine; I have not encountered it since (so insufficient data), I have upgraded (reported on FC5, now on FC8), and I have decommissioned the hardware it occurred on.
