messages excerpt

Description of problem:
I have been attempting to set up my wiimote (a bluetooth device) as an input device. On both attempts, Fedora hung and required a hard reboot. The second time, I got something in /var/log/messages

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-3.1.6-1.fc16.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum install cwiid{,-python2,-wminput,-utils} wiiuse
2. wmgui
3. File->Connect
4. Follow instructions (press 1 and 2 simultaneously on wiimote)
5. Press buttons on wii and note that wmgui picks up the button presses
6. File->Quit
7. Run xwii (not packaged for Fedora, so you would need to compile it yourself)
  
Actual results:
Hang with GPF on screen (see 2 GPFs in attached excerpt from /var/log/messages). (The hang may actually occur before this point, and without a GPF on screen.)

Expected results:
No hang

Additional info:
Due to abrt bug 771077, I cannot use abrt to report this bug.

Could you install kernel-debug and see if you get a more usable backtrace?

oopses from kernel-debug in xen domU

I used a Xen virtual machine to get these oopses so I could avoid crashing my machine. I can do it again on my real machine if you want.
