Title:
  Kernel Oops - unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference; EIP is
  at free_thread_info+0xb/0x30

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Since upgrading from 10.04 to 12.04, my server suffers from frequent
  freezes. I have been unable to find a pattern and the freeze
  'behaviour' is not always the same: usually the system does not
  respond at all anymore, and sometimes an error message is printed to
  the console:

  BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at   (null)
  free_thread_info+0xb/0x30

  The attached kern.log file has the full error messages.

  Usually the system can reboot using Alt+SysReq+B, but sometimes that
  doesn't even work. And on rare occasions the keyboard lights start
  blinking.

  Now, there might be more than 1 problem at hand here, but at least
  I've got an error message now.

  PS: on 10.04 I also had occasional freezes, but that averaged once
  every 3 months or so. Now it happens once every three days.
