Kernel panics on the Asus Eee PC 901

[Serhiy]

Regardless of the DE and state. At least now I didn't catch any relations but it happens often, something about once per hour.
It didn't on the previous version.
What else should I include?

Here is my fstab:
UUID=30adc...db / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1
UUID=ffbb5...93 /home ext4 defaults 0 2
#tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults 0 0
#tmpfs /var/log tmpfs defaults 0 0
#tmpfs /var/tmp tmpfs defaults 0 0
#tmpfs /var/run tmpfs defaults 0 0
#tmpfs /var/lock tmpfs defaults 0 0

tmpfs entries was uncommented, I just commented it to save logs. It did crash without tmpfs mounts.
Also, as you can see there is no swap.

I cannot find anything related to panics in kern.log
Last one occured right after I disabled WiFi with Fn+F2.
And it does not occur now for a day, when I'm not connected to my friend's WiFi.
So the issue may be in the WiFi module and in the specific AP. There was a lot of laptops connected to it and it was on the 12 channel, BTW.

The text of the panic message is going to be required in order to diagnose your issue. Please capture this text next time you get the panic, then attach it here and change the status back to Confirmed. Thanks!

I have a photo of the panic screen, but I don't think this will suffice. How can I capture this text?
I don't know yet how to use kerneloops and the log file is

$ grep log-file /etc/kerneloops.conf
log-file = /var/log/kern.log

But I can't find this text nor in kern.log neither in kern.log.1

Also affects me. I took a photo of my screen after the kernel panic : http://yannbng.free.fr/panic2.jpg. I will try other kernels

Seems to be a duplicate of : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/869502
Using another kernel might solve the problem

[Serhiy (xintx-ua)]

I didn't have these panics anymore since upgrade. But also I didn't connect to the mentioned AP.
