Sure - actually not just someone, but several people at once.

We think it's primarily caused by the fact that kernel 2.2.8 replaced
update/bdflush by a kernel thread (we therefore removed /sbin/update from
inittab), and announcements said bdflush was obsolete.
The 2.2.9 kernel patch removed the kernel bdflushd patch without stating
in the ChangeLog that /sbin/update needed to be activated again, so that's
how the line comes to be missing in /etc/initrc.
The problem should be fixed by activating the /sbin/update line in
/etc/inittab (it's currently commented out).
I've put an updated initscripts package on
ftp://ftp.mandrakesoft.com/pub/bero/fixes/
Please let me know if it really fixes the problem.
