Hello, I'm using -mm branch since 2.6.0-pre kernels, and now I'm finding
problems (well, *another* type of problems) since 2.6.1-rc1-mm2. Last kernel
without this error was 2.6.1-rc2-mm1.

The error is always the same (at least to me, poor non kernel-hacker):

This error, for example, is printed with the server's current kernel,
2.6.2-rc1-mm1.

The machine is P4 with XFS over RAID0 by software, Apache2 in thread mode,
and root filesystem on ext3.

Please don't hesitate to request further info.

Kind regards,


Ender.
