SubjectTop 9 kernel oopses/warnings for the week of December 29th, 2007
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.

kerneloops.org news:
* As of 2.6.24-rc6, oopses have a unique identifier which makes it possible to filter out duplicate
   reports of (and replies to) the same oops. Unfortunately some reporters remove this line from
   their reports to lkml.
