Has Dominic followed up on this? I am seeing the same problem on my
Athlon 4400+ system (running i386) and have been crashing 3 or 4 times a
day on a kernel from Nov. 9.

I just updated to 6-Stable of Nov. 21 and it has not yet crashed, but if
it fails again, I can provide the requested information. I really would
like to see it resolved for the 6.2 release if at all possible.

In my case, the crashes have mostly occurred when I was either not on the
system at all or when I was just logged into it via SSH from a terminal
window on another system. No X-server was running at the time of any
crash. (But polkitd and hald are started at boot time, so they were
running.)
