Jan 14 02:26:21 osage BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000010 |

lines 738&739 are timestamped 02:26:21, list the modules linked in, and says "Not tainted". |
25 |
lines 778&779 also timestamped 02:26:21, list the modules linked in, and says "Tainted". |

The modules listed in lines 738 and 778 are identical. |

What the heck? How does the kernel go from "Not tainted" to "Tainted" |

Can a program, i.e. rrdtool, be tainted? I'd not think so since the |
33 |
program is in user space, not kernel space. |
