i’ve been running on tumbleweed for a while now, today i installed some updates and now every time i try to start chrome it runs for about a minute and then the kernel crashes, X drops me out to a console with the image below. I can get back into X by doing an alt-f7 but chrome pretty much is gimped and won’t load most pages. I thought one of the updates i installed was a kernel update. is there any way to revert to an earlier tumbleweed kernel? all i see in versions in software manager are the current tumbleweed one, and a bunch of 2.6.37 ones from the opensuse 11.4 branch.
Here is the image i get on crash and the trace from /var/log/messages
