I noticed another post the other day, and contacted
the indavidual who posted it. note his message below.
Hi Winn,
Latest news i had was a *hint* from Andrew Morton
telling me to try with kernel 2.6.17-rc3 and report if
the problem was gone or not. I've had no
time to give it a try yet.Your problem seems similar
to mine, a few person argued that the message
was bogus and that no harm was done but i guess they
did not read carefully the post since the consequences
are pretty bad.
Let me know if you manage to try with the latest rc of
the 2.6.17 kernel and if things are better.
