Description of problem: First time I've seen a kernel "Oops" on all consoles. It's caused by launched Audacity (the one provided by yum). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel : 2.6.19-1.2895.fc6 audacity : 1.3.2, release 3.fc6, arch x86_64 How reproducible: I believe just launch Audacity. I'm not aware of any user-specific audacity config files in my home. Actual results: Audacity GUI never shows up, but "audacity" stays in the processes (ps -A). A successive launch terminates with an "already running error". All consoles print the following message: Message from syslogd@exciter at Wed Jan 24 22:04:26 2007 ... exciter kernel: Oops: 0000 [1] SMP Message from syslogd@exciter at Wed Jan 24 22:04:26 2007 ... exciter kernel: CR2: ffff810270c5c43c Message from syslogd@exciter at Wed Jan 24 22:04:26 2007 ... exciter kernel: Oops: 0000 [2] SMP Message from syslogd@exciter at Wed Jan 24 22:04:26 2007 ... exciter kernel: CR2: ffff810270c5c43c Expected results: Audacity!

I'm not sure about that one. I no longer have this configuration.
