Andrew, Please find attached snippet from kernel log file. Basically, assert was raised when machine was shutting down as a part of the reboot. If it matters: I have nVidia kernel module loaded. Most likely I wouldn't be able to reproduce it because it happened only once out of about 10 reboots. Kernel version is 2.6.0-test6-mm4 and all packages are updated on daily basis from Debian/unstable. Kernel config file is also attached to this letter. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you might have. -- Best wishes, Nick Orlov.
