message:

"a kernel thread terminated while holding a mutex"

Thank you.

An "mljones" had the same error and fixed it by getting a new graphics card
(and associated driver software):

PS. A mutex is a "MUTual EXclusion" flag that the OS uses to guaranty
that no more than one process at a time has access to a particular
section of code. Often, that code is in a hardware device driver.
The process that currently has access is said to "hold the mutex"
for access to that section of code.
