(Re-posted ... with some new information ... because I previously posted it
as a "reply" to the wrong thread, sorry...)
Shortly after booting up, I get (on the root console and in dmesg):
BUG: warning at kernel/softirq.c:138/local_bh_enable() (Tainted: P )

=======================
Any idea what that's all about?
I get it once and then everything seems fine.
I have found some more information about this in google, and what seems to
be happening is that local_bh_enable() attempts to do unfriendly things
with interrupts (not sure exactly what)... I'm wondering if this error
leaves the system in any kind of an unstable state forevermore...
