I can reproduce this message (and will try to fix it), but i'm afraid it's unrelated to this: > In consequence of this I seemed to have had a system crash (reboot > w/o panic) a couple of minutes ago. A few people have been reporting silent reboots, but i've never been able to see them myself. Check question: you aren't perchance using the block devices, are you? (Hmm, maybe i should start using the buffered devices, too, even though it's an error to use them. Maybe this will trigger the bug...) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
