Yes, I have had some emails back and forth with Devin Heitmueller at 
kernellabs.org almost 2 years ago. I see from the archive that at one 
point he responded:
"
 > Wow, ok.  That is *not* what I was expecting to see in your dmesg 
output. "

Since I found a work-around I have heard nothing further from him, 
although I did send some debug-enabled dmesg outputs with a 'good' and a 
'bad' reboot, to diff with.

I will further note that I have *NEVER EVER ANYWHERE* read of anyone 
else having this problem. Not on Ubuntu lists nor Fedora lists.... But 
it hits me about 95% of all reboots...

I do not know, offhand, the date of the modules at home, and I cannot 
remember when I last updated it... iirc, it is running Fedora 17, while 
everything else is on F20... maybe time for an upgrade.
