Public bug reported: Here is the reportbug bug I sent in. It's unclear whether or not reportbug should be used to report bugs, even though it ships standard.
Package: linux-image-2.6.15-27-server Version: 2.6.15-27.48 Severity: important ntpd made the kernel oops last night. the kernel reports the UDP ports (123) still in use, but nothing is attached to them. the system stayed up and running normally (aside from ntpd). rebooted to restore ntpd service. it's a fairly barebones web server. not much running. not sure what other info to provide.
