Yup, good job you kernel guys.

I installed the1276 kernel, started OOo (that's the main i386 app that I use, 
afaik), no problem. The kernel is stable too. I compile the nvidia module, I 
reboot, and bam, OOo refuses to start again, spitting out stuff like:

Apr 29 16:43:32 localhost kernel: soffice.bin[3882]: segfault at 
0000000000000000 rip 0000000000000000 rsp 00000000ffffa504 error 14
Apr 29 16:44:01 localhost kernel: soffice.bin[3981]: segfault at 
0000000000000000 rip 0000000000000000 rsp 00000000ffff92a4 error 14
Apr 29 16:44:25 localhost kernel: soffice.bin[4037]: segfault at 
0000000000000000 rip 0000000000000000 rsp 00000000ffff96a4 error 14
Apr 29 16:44:49 localhost kernel: soffice.bin[4111]: segfault at 
0000000000000000 rip 0000000000000000 rsp 00000000ffffa3f4 error 14

Another reboot w/o loading nvidia, OOo works fine again.

So, it would look like the nvidia module somehow interferes. I won't 
investigate any further though, I know I will get no support on this. This 
post is more intended to anticipate posts saying OOo/kernel/i386 libs isn't 
fixed. Maybe look the nvidia way if you're in that case!
