There was already a warning spit out before this happened. Did you happen to capture that anywhere? Also, is this still happening with 3.5.5-2 or 3.5.6-1?
No, did not capture the warning. Looking at syslog (/var/log/messages) including Sep 19 and later, I see no "Oops", no "raceback", and the only "arning" (even case-insensistive) are for avahi-daemon and gdm-simple-slave. Today I installed kernel-3.5.5-2.fc17 and kernel-3.5.6-1.fc17, and will report unusual events.
Are you still seeing this with the 3.6.10 or newer kernel updates?
No, that was a once-only event.
