Subject: [BUG] 2.6.24-rc5: 'sysctl table check failed' when turning on printer

(Resending as there were no replies on my first post mid December; issue
is still there with -rc6.)

This is the first time I've seen this error. Last time I used the printer 
was with 2.6.24-rc3 and that time this error did not occur.
The error occurs when I start a print job, not when I turn the printer on.

System is Pentium D x86_64 kernel running Debian unstable.
Printer is a HP Photosmart P1100 connected via parallel port.

Not sure who should be CCed on this.

ppdev0: registered pardevice
sysctl table check failed: /dev/parport/parport0/devices/ppdev0/timeslice  Sysctl already exists
