I tried some more kernels and I had the same problem with 2.6.23.17
and 2.6.27-rc1-mm1, but I couldn't reproduce it with kernel from
sysresccd 1.0.1 http://www.sysresccd.org/ which is a patched version
of 2.6.24 i think .7 when I booted it to change fs.
Could it be that something in userspace is creating this?
