Ingo, can you look at this, please?
Vincent is getting oopses on 2.6.22.14-cfs-etch.

Vincent, did you apply the cfs patch or did Debian etch provide that?
If you applied it, did you use
http://people.redhat.com/mingo/cfs-scheduler/sched-cfs-v2.6.22.13-v24.patch
or a different patch?

This oops in sysfs_open_file() is on

	if (!try_module_get(attr->owner)) {
		error = -ENODEV;
