Subject: Top kernel oopses/warnings for the week of Friday June 6th, 2008

The http://www.kerneloops.org website collects kernel oops and
warning reports from various mailing lists and bugzillas as well as
with a client users can install to auto-submit oopses.
Below is a top 12 list of the traces collected in the last 7 days.
(Reports prior to 2.6.23 have been omitted in collecting the top 10)

This week, a total of 3425 oopses and warnings have been reported,
compared to 3522 reports in the previous week.

This weeks result look rather different from last weeks; mostly because I've spend
some time improving the "who is guilty" algorith to more accurately pinpoint the
blame on the really guilty party.
