How do I report these? I get about one a day, typically while in Firefox and doing something else. The machine locks up tight (flashing num and scroll locks) and requires power cycling and nothing seems to get logged. Abrt doesn't see it after restart.

The same here: Linux ***.** 2.6.30.9-102.fc11.i586 #1 SMP Thu Dec 3 23:46:37 EST 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux And yes, Firefox is not always involved. I've already asked the question on this list (haven't received any responses). How do you know it's kernel panic?
When the machine locks up, the caps-lock and scroll-light both flash. What's really annoying is that if I'm playing music, it gets really weird and scares the cats.

Do you have desktop effects enabled? I found that my system is much more stable with desktop effects turned off [1]. My video is ATI [2] with driver 'ati' [3].
