Does this error still occur with more recent kernel versions? If you're running Etch, could you try to reproduce this bug with the 2.6.24 based kernel added in 4.0r4? http://packages.qa.debian.org/l/linux-2.6.24.html Cheers, Moritz -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
