Proprietary modules (vmnet etc.) are loaded.
There were earlier errors where processes were found with bad page state and
were killed.

So this oops is pretty much useless. Bad page state is sometimes caused by
failing hardware -- has memtest86 been run overnight on this system?

Comment 4 Christopher D. Stover 2008-10-22 17:43:15 EDT

The information we've requested above is required in order
to review this problem report further and diagnose or fix the
issue if it is still present.  Since it has been thirty days or
more since we first requested additional information, we're assuming
the problem is either no longer present in the current Fedora release, or
that there is no longer any interest in tracking the problem.

Setting status to "CLOSED: INSUFFICIENT_DATA".  If you still
experience this problem after updating to our latest Fedora
release and can provide the information previously requested,
please feel free to reopen the bug report.

Thank you in advance.
