14 but you had them loaded:
15
16 Modules linked in: btrfs libcrc32c vboxnetflt vboxnetadp vboxdrv snd_pcm_oss
17 snd_mixer_oss snd_seq_oss snd_seq_midi_event snd_seq snd_seq_device nls_cp437
18 vfat fat fuse sr_mod cdrom virtio_pci virtio_net virtio_ring virtio vhost_net
19 tun kvm_amd kvm bridge stp llc usb_storage usbhid snd_hda_codec_realtek sg
20 snd_hda_intel snd_hda_codec snd_pcm thermal snd_timer processor rtc
21 firewire_ohci snd thermal_sys r8169 ohci_hcd firewire_core mii ehci_hcd
22 k10temp i2c_piix4 snd_page_alloc crc_itu_t
23
24 You are also using btrfs AND reiser4.
25
26 Hint: only use one unstable fs at a time.
27
28 Get 2.6.38. Patch it with reiser4. Retry. If your box still crashes, report it
29 on reiserfs-devel mailing list. If not, well, everything past 2.6.38 is pretty
30 much broken (and known as broken).
31
32 Your X hangups are caused by that first crash.
33
34 Btw, invalid opcode here, null pointers there and a biostar mainboard - which
35 itself is worrisome. Make sure that you have the latest bios installed. This
36 whole thing smells really fishy. Hardwarish...

50 no, you can ignore that line. It just tells you the last accessed sysfs file.
51 Which is pretty much not an issue.
52
53 >

55
56 maybe your bios is missing the latest microcode update
57 maybe your hardware has gone bad
58 maybe it is a bad interaction between the in-kernel amd graphics drivers and
59 reiser4
60 maybe it is a bad interaction between virtualbox and the rest.
61 maybe it is caused by the fact that you are still using a non-vanilla, plain
62 2.6.38
