Have been searching the list archives, bug database and googling different terms related to this oops message, but can't find anything. Any idea on what could be causing this - a hardware failure or a bug in the kernel? This is happening very rarely and is hard to reproduce :(. This kernel is a patched kernel with ipsets and bootsplash. Thanks in advance.
