Fatal error: Call to a member function getSource() on a  non-object in 
\www\magento\app\code\core\Mage\Catalog\Model\Product.php on line 1389

I was getting this error because some of the attributes were not created in Admin panel. But using $_product->getAttributeText('preferred') values were being fetched in list.phtml.

When I created these attribute and assigned those to default attribute set problem solved.
