A few new problems cropped up with this kernel..
1. NFS seems to be unstable, oopsing when shutting down:

2. That message on the third line of the trace above: "kernel: Device not ready." is being logged every few mins or so, I believe it is my SCSI CDROM that is causing it. It also logs something similar after the SCSI driver has probed the device on boot:

This has been a problem for quite a few weeks now, albeit I believe, only a cosmetic one.
Is some application trying to poll the device?
Is the device actually "not ready", or is it in reality ready and working? ie: what happens if you stick a CD in it?
4. PAM is complaining about "PAM audit_open() failed: Protocol not suppor
ted" and I can't log in as any user including root. I would have picked this was a userspace problem, but it doesn't break with -rc5-mm1, yet reproduceably breaks with -rc6-mm1. Weird.
hm. How come you're able to use the machine then?
Is it possible to get an strace of this failure somehow?
