Choosing A Webhost:
A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation. more...

Possibly a variant issue, often seen on my laptop (is a UP with Ingo Molnar's VP
patches and PREEMPT defined).  Lots of leading blanks.  Always show up in pairs,
one with 115-120 blanks, followed by a second that has 15-25 more blanks.
Both messages are always truncated after the exe= field.

Those were 3 consecutive messages out of the kernel.  Might be the issue
is 'SMP or PREEMPT'.  Two more examples from that day...
