I feel that at this point, I should express my disappointment regarding the lack of attention this report has received over the course of a month. I marked it as high priority (which I believe it is), posted about this on the forum, and wrote about it to the Factory mailing list (where it was completely ignored). To this day, I still have no idea what this is or when and how it might be fixed. While I understand that openSUSE is a free project and its team has many things to deal with, this is a major stability issue that literally makes it impossible to keep a machine running safely! I'm not asking anyone to fix it right this instant... however I expected the developers to have at least taken a look through the logs, potentially suggested something safe I could try, and offered insight as to what a plausible suspected cause might be. I'll also link the same bug report on freedesktop.org, in case any info posted there might be helpful: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=100306
