Content of /var/log/messages relative to failing boot

Today I noted a NULL pointer error during the first steps of the boot process
that has prevented the system to boot regularly. 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.
