I am running SuSE11.2 x86-64 and every so often I get the following spattered across all of my shells along with a pop up message. Doesn't seem to correlate with what I am doing at the moment, but I could be wrong on that... Last time I just did an ls of a dir that I had auto mounted... but it has occurred when I am doing other things as well... What is it and what do I do about it? Thanks..

Kernel problem. An alarm message gets posted to all terminals to make sure you see it. The full report should be in the log.
