Apparently still in the repository "testing"

For some reason I restart the machine alone, sometimes with this kernel. I will try to test the new version linux-lts 3.0.23-1

I think it will be some overflow bug because that is when the processor goes to 100%

sorry for my bad english.

So this is fixed with 3.0.22-1 from core?
