Also using Debian sid here (devfsd 1.3.21-1). Over the past two days
I've seen random nasties with devfs-v199.6 and v199.7 (I backed out
v199.7 in my local tree because my machine refuses to finish booting
otherwise). Machine: VIA VT82C693A/694x, PIII/1GHz SMP, 1GB HIGHMEM
enabled.

What follows is a series of crashes culled from /var/log/kern.log
(apologies regarding the format). Before each I'll explain what I did to
possibly invoke it. All are with devfs-v199.6 and devfsd-1.3.21 running
2.4.18-pre4 + ext3-2.4-0.9.17-2418p3 + ide.2.4.16.12102001:

Interestingly enough, I applied rml's preempt-kernel-rml-2.4.18-pre4-1,
recompiled, rebooted, and have yet to see an oops, though I believe it's
just dumb luck thus far. Any ideas?
