When you load a proprietary driver, your kernel is automatically tainted. It is in the oops: Apr 11 18:34:29 sunshade [ 332.126868] Pid: 0, comm: swapper Tainted: P 2.6.32-4-amd64+mht.1 #1 P55A-UD4 The P means "Proprietary module has been loaded." And there was a reason I asked you to try this without the proprietary nvidia driver. Especially if you have a bunch of nvidia-driver functions in the backtrace: Apr 11 18:34:29 sunshade [ 332.127092] [<ffffffffa0ac506c>] ? cdrom_newpc_intr+0x819/0x84a [ide_cd_mod] Apr 11 18:34:29 sunshade [ 332.127095] [<ffffffffa0ac4853>] ? cdrom_newpc_intr+0x0/0x84a [ide_cd_mod] Apr 11 18:34:29 sunshade [ 332.127101] [<ffffffffa010df5c>] ? ide_intr+0x17c/0x20f [ide_core] Apr 11 18:34:29 sunshade [ 332.127105] [<ffffffff81048985>] ? default_wake_function+0x0/0xf Apr 11 18:34:29 sunshade [ 332.127109] [<ffffffff81092dd4>] ? handle_IRQ_event+0x55/0x109 Apr 11 18:34:29 sunshade [ 332.127112] [<ffffffff8109489d>] ? handle_fasteoi_irq+0x76/0xac Apr 11 18:34:29 sunshade [ 332.127171] [<ffffffff81013843>] ? handle_irq+0x17/0x1d Apr 11 18:34:29 sunshade [ 332.127174] [<ffffffff81012f0f>] ? do_IRQ+0x54/0xb2 Apr 11 18:34:29 sunshade [ 332.127177] [<ffffffff81011413>] ? ret_from_intr+0x0/0x11 Apr 11 18:34:29 sunshade [ 332.127299] [<ffffffffa05bbf09>] ? _nv005370rm+0x20/0x22 [nvidia] Apr 11 18:34:29 sunshade [ 332.127429] [<ffffffffa040aa19>] ? _nv012025rm+0x35/0xe1 [nvidia] Apr 11 18:34:29 sunshade [ 332.127561] [<ffffffffa04728f3>] ? _nv011220rm+0x1498/0x15a7 [nvidia] Apr 11 18:34:29 sunshade [ 332.127680] [<ffffffffa04feb15>] ? _nv008600rm+0x37d/0x813 [nvidia] Apr 11 18:34:29 sunshade [ 332.127798] [<ffffffffa04fdfc6>] ? _nv008603rm+0x66/0x90 [nvidia] Apr 11 18:34:29 sunshade [ 332.127907] [<ffffffffa05bcbc0>] ? _nv003827rm+0xa0/0xd3 [nvidia] Apr 11 18:34:29 sunshade [ 332.128017] [<ffffffffa05c2853>] ? rm_isr_bh+0x5a/0x8d [nvidia] See all those _nv0* things, they may very well be puzzling your cdrom drive. I know its crazy. So yes, please try the whole thing _without_ the nvidia driver and catch the logs again exactly as you've done it now.
