We've come across an Oops, in what appears to NFS.

2.6.22.6 vanilla + realtime-lsm
RHEL4 over PXE/NFS_ROOT

I was just checking to see if there's anything that I'm missing here, in
regards to never hearing a single thing back about this.

Well... Your Oops did have the 'tainted' flag set, but in this case I
believe that the issue is already known. Please try

Thanks Trond.  The Tainted flag is *probably* due to the NVIDIA driver,
but I'd also have to check the realtime-lsm.  Either way we'll get that
built up and see...

Thanks again!!
