Hi Gilles, Thanks for the info.
However, I can find no mention of oops in kern.log, messages, dmesg etc. I can find nothing obviously wrong with the system.

It is the package kerneloops. $ aptitude show kerneloops Package: kerneloops [...] Description: kernel oops tracker kerneloops is a daemon that collects kernel crash information and then submits the extracted signature to the kerneloops.org website for statistical analysis and presentation to the Linux kernel developers. > How do I track this down? Look at /var/log/kernel.log You should find some logs and a kernel Ooops ! (an error in the kernel or a module). I think it will not be very informative. I also have this at every boot on my Thinkpad T41 running SID. I think it's related to the wifi chipset having problem with the firmware ipw2100. It is reloaded very often.
