[Nix-dev] kernel oops [aufs + squashfs] on nixos-graphical-0.1pre29826-i686-linux.iso

[Paul Dufresne]

Just to say... it has nothing to do with swap partition on my hard
disk, because the problem still happen without power to my Hard Disk.

I should probably not care about the do_page_fault, becasue they are
after the oops which is normaly in the squashfs_read_data.
