Comment 8 for bug 528981

More errors related to 2.6.32-16.24, but they happened after an unexplained system lockup. Unfortunately, the error also destroyed Firefox, which was the open application when the lockup occurred. Fortunately, enough of the system was still functioning that error messages were logged at the end of dmesg:
