Another data point... When I installed 2.2.17pre6-1 that I built from kernel-source-2.2.17_2.2.17pre6-1_all.deb, I started getting this message for various unrelated processes. Frequently this was accompanied by a system lockup (alt-sysreq sometimes worked, sometimes didn't). I ended up reverting to 2.2.10. It should be noted that I installed the USB support patches which were backported from the 2.4, so there's a possiblilty that this caused the problem. While researching this on dejanews there were some mentions of newer -pre versions which might help, but I'll probably wait for 2.2.17 final release before revisiting this. your pal dave -- Dave Thayer Denver, Colorado USA [EMAIL PROTECTED]
