Subject: 2.6.25-rc6: kernel BUG at fs/sysfs/file.c:89

Hi,

while attempting to test the patch which should fix the dm-crypt hang[0], 
I applied the diff to -rc6. After rebooting I increased disk i/o and 
shortly after the box rebooted - I noticed this earlier with -rc5 too, but 
had no debug messages at hand. Well, the box is running again and tar(1) 
is reading with 32MB/s for some time now - but is not rebooting, which is 
good :)
(I changed kernel.panic and kernel.panic_on_oops to zero).
However, it's printing stuff like this:

I'm sorry a pentium won't do, you need an SGI to connect with us.
