Please be a little bit more careful. The bug opens with: ! After switching from a 2.4.27 to 2.6.8 kernel for an old desktop I use ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ! as a server, I noticed the following messages on console and kern.log. Followed by: ! kernel: Inspecting /boot/System.map-2.6.8-2-686 ! kernel: Loaded 27390 symbols from /boot/System.map-2.6.8-2-686. However, the code _is_ in fact dead as the bug concerns devfs. The bug was left open on purpose by the kernel team as it is still valid as a reference to Sarge users. I'll leave it to you to reopen or not. P.S. Thanks for doing the bug triage, it's boring and thankless work :-P
