kernel BUG at lib/kernel_lock.c:83! - 2.6.19-1.2895.fc6

[Albert Graham]

Guys,

I'm simply reporting this "kernel bug", it seems that whenever NVidia 
drivers are loaded and there's a problem everyone automatically "blames" 
Nvidia for it, and in my experience, Nvidia drivers are very very rarely 
the cause of such problems. I've been using NVidia drivers since  FC1 
(and actually RH 7.1) with very little problems.

Also, some of these bugs are really hard to reproduce or completely 
unpredictable, just look out some of my previous posts with and without 
tainted kernels.

As for your useless "tainted" responses, I'm afraid falls on deaf ears, 
if you cannot see the "usefulness" of my posts, please don't respond to 
them.

Albert.

p.s. shouldn't you be posting in plain text  and not html :)
