Well, i guess i'll have to do that to be sure. But i must say that i did try the nv module and de-installed the nvidia binary module. It didn't matter, the system froze but didn't leave anything in the logs, this time it did. Doesn't that help at all ?
I'll try again, put nv up and wait for a something to happen. If some one has in the meantime more advise or maybe even could check out of curiousity why it says kernel BUG i'd appreciate it ofcourse.
