I have a machine with a recent install of centos (2.6.32-220.2.1.el6.x86_64 kernel). It crashed 3 times this week, and sent emails like the one below complaining about kernel taint. I've gone back to a previous kernel to see if that helps, but otherwise I don't know how to investigate this. What should I do?

Ignore it.
When I follow that link, I get: "The resource you requested is available exclusively to Red Hat customers with an active Red Hat or JBoss subscription."
Should I ignore it because it is a known bug that will soon be fixed? Why all the secrecy?
Can't help with the secrecy question but the relevant text from the linked document is copied below. Looks like its already been removed from Fedora.

*** SNIPPED TEXT BELOW ***
Environment
-Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 -kernel-2.6.32-220.2.1.el6
Resolution
-No action necessary. Red Hat may remove the harmless WARN_ON_ONCE() call from the kernel in a future kernel errata.
Root Cause -When a system encounters this issue it will only print the warning once. -There are no adverse effects on a system that encounters this warning. -This is resolved upstream by removing the WARN_ON_ONCE() from sched().
