Description of problem: After very randomly elapsed time - the whole system freezing out and produces an general protection fault 0000 [#1] SMP. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.1.6-1.fc16.x86_64 #1 SMP How reproducible: I couldn't reproduce it, but appears time to time, and I don't know where to look the logfiles. Steps to Reproduce: 1. I was not able to reproduce it, it appears randomly. Actual results: In middle of bunch of running tasks, unexpectedly exits, shows an incomplete debug screen, and freezing out. Expected results: No such bug. Additional info: The kernel and the video driver is NOT tainted, I don't use any proprietary driver, it's an native fedora gnome 3 install. How can I catch this debug, or log? I really would like to catch this nasty bug.
There should have been a backtrace on the screen after general protection fault 0000 [#1] SMP. We'll need to see that. It might be in /var/log/messages. If not, a digital picture of the screen with the trace is sometimes helpful. If you aren't seeing the trace itself, try installing kernel-debug and see if that gets more info.
Created attachment 551429 [details] The messages file after the frozen stat, hope this helps
unfortunately, the whole trace didn't hit the log, and there's not enough in that one to go on.
Hi Guys, I have received two kernel upgrade also but the bug stays, witch is more weird. Again, this bug appears randomly, sometimes middle of my translation work... After your advice I installed kernel the debug package, in hope that I could catch it - and now finally I have difference: It scrolls the debug output in two screens when died out to terminal with frozen out state (no reaction to any key). So I made 2 pictures as it scrolls on the terminal, please check them - and I will provide any log that's necessary......

if you could run the kernel-debug build at http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=304798 that might turn up a different trace that might be helpful to us to track this down. (it's going to be considerably slower than the regular build, due to the extra checking).
[mass update] kernel-3.3.0-4.fc16 has been pushed to the Fedora 16 stable repository. Please retest with this update.
