Subject: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 00000004

Seems This is the first time seeing this.
steps to recreate(not sure) What I was doing was simple
exited out of fluxbox(killed the xserver) to read some
debug messages in bash for a few minuets. Once done
pressing the powerbutton(which is a simple custom rule:
shutdown -h now no more no less) resulted in this:
