I believe this was fixed in Linux 2.6.32.10 by the following change: commit 3048a0dbd810980f67882a8b6745d4a6ff24c53e Author: Tejun Heo <t...@kernel.org> Date: Fri Feb 5 17:57:02 2010 +0900 driver-core: fix race condition in get_device_parent() This was included in Debian kernel package version 2.6.32-10. Let us know if this doesn't fix the problem for you. Ben. -- Ben Hutchings Once a job is fouled up, anything done to improve it makes it worse.
