16 That's a bug in the kernel, so my first step would be to try the most recent
17 kernel, hoping that the bug has already been fixed upstream. If the most
18 recent kernel crashes the same way, then I would try older kernels, hoping
19 to find where the bug first appeared.

23 The word "Tainted" refers to your nvidia driver (see below). Some kernel
24 developers may refuse to accept a bug report if they see the word "Tainted",
25 but I've never had a bug report refused for that reason. You can get rid
26 of the "Tainted" by using an open-source driver like nouveau or the old 'nv'
27 if you have trouble getting a bug report accepted by a kernel developer.
