Hi,

Are there other people that are suffering from a VM related oops on kernel
2.4.18? 

The problem is that before I started to have this problem I upgraded both
the kernel to 2.4.18 but also the NVidia driver module to the latest
version.

Yes, I know that using a closed source module taints the kernel and that I
cannot expect much help from the kernel hacker community, but I am just
trying to find out whether the kernel or the driver upgrade is causing this
problem.

Another problem is that the oops occurs during the morning cronjobs, like
updatedb, and I am not at the machine to get a better oops trace. For anyone
that is interested to take a look anyway, this is what it looks like in the
log:
