Hi,

OK, after 3 hours of compilation the ONLY datapoint I can give right now is:
1 (one) boot on 2.6.23-rc8-mm2 had the BUG in /var/log/messages,
1 (one) boot on 2.6.23-rc8 did NOT have it.

The two .config:s (I did a make oldconfig when going back to
non-mm2) don't seem to have any relevant differences.

I could offer to do more testing on this machine,
but this carries a slight risk for me since I (personally) won't have physical
access to it for a couple days and some people will kill me if the main
internet gateway happened to go down unfixably. ;)

Thanks,

Andreas Mohr
