Hello again,

I'm gonna provide more info this time...

and continues with:
handle_IRQ_event+0x2a/0x60
__do_IRQ+0xda/0x150
do_IRQ+0x4a/0x70
================
common_interrupt+0x1a/0x20
dev_open+0x74/0x90
dev_change_flags+0x52/0x120

vfs_ioctl+0x59/0x1b0
sys_ioctl+0x51/0x80
sysenter_past_esp+0x54/0x75

So it has something to do with ioctl. Could it be caused by 
ali_ircc_net_ioctl() when cmd is SIOCSMEDIABUSY (in 
drivers/net/irda/ali-ircc.c:2282)?

The assertion is seen when ifup -a is called so it's when 'ifconfig irda0 up' 
is used.

Hehe, no it's mainstream... There's just
CONFIG_LOCALVERSION="-mr"
in the .config.
