Anyway, here's something... did you actually report a bug? If a tree
falls in the forest...
I haven't filed a bug because at the moment we have not been able to
figure out exactly what is causing it.
Well, if you knew what was causing it, then you wouldn't need to report
a bug as you could just fix it yourself :P
Look, you know it's a kernel panic. You know kernels aren't supposed to
panic. You know fairly well how to repeat the bug, so I don't see
anything getting int he way of you reporting it. That's my take on it
anyway.

It is a good point. I would like to be able to give some more details
other than when I try to download a file in Firefox or Seamonkey, I get
a kernel panic. That's not really a lot of info to give them and I'm
not sure what they could do with the little info. Since it is using the
network, is it a nic driver? Is it a problem with the video drivers
since it is sometimes opening/closing a new window when it does it too?
Could it be something totally unrelated to those two?
I don't mind filing bug reports but I like to be able to say more than
it is broke. ;-) I'm thinking about taking a nic out of my old machine
and putting in here. That would narrow that down at least.
You are right, this is not like Linux. It is rare that I have any sort
of trouble like this. I guess hal and xorg was the worst so far. At
least right now my keyboard and mouse are working. lol
