Description Charles Lopes 2002-07-04 11:12:35 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020625

Description of problem:
After some time, usually less than 24 hours, I get a kernel BUG message and all
programs freeze. I happens at night when with only a few processes running. In a
couple of occasions I got the problem immediately after touching the keyboard in
the morning. Note that X was not running and the only thing I did was to unblank
the console terminal. I'll attach the kernel messages to this bug report.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.4.18-0.26
2.4.18-5.58

How reproducible:
Couldn't Reproduce but it happens about every night.

Comment 3 Arjan van de Ven 2002-07-04 11:15:40 UTC 
Oh the famous NVidia driver bug..... The nvidia driver corrupts memory and the
VM detects that. NOTABUG please report it to nvidia
