I had to reboot the system using magic sysrq sequence since Ctrl-Alt-Del has been ignored. It is interesting to observe that this is the first time I suffer this NULL pointer; the system is the same as in the previous boot as well as the following one where no errors occurred. I do not know whether this error is related to my bnc#686725 so I prefer to open a new report. Complete content of /var/log/messages relative to the failing boot is attached; I manually changed the first half of the IP addresses to xxx.xxx so do not worry about them.
