System crashes over night

[sirbrett]

i dont know why but i got to bed around 2am. and when i get up around ten every morning my system is frozen, or atleast i think. my montor is stuck in power saving mode so i cant see the screen, the lights on my keyboard dont go on or off(caps lock, num lock etc). so i think my system is freezing the only thing i can find in the logs is:

here's the thread regarding your problem. btw, what is your kernel?

[sirbrett]

im using kernel 2.6.12-1.1398_FC4. seems like no one really got anything solved in that thread. sounds like a kernel issue, i hope rh releases a new one or something SOON!
