Public bug reported: I think this was stimulated by autofs trying to unmount an nfs volume. It's happened three times so far since I put 11.04 on my old Latitude D400 laptop (Intel 855GM video). Nothing special was happening, I was not even using the machine when the crash occurred. It apparently tries to shut down - I found the Ubuntu and red/white dots going forever, and a trace message on the console. /var/log/kernel.log excerpt to be attached.
