This patch:

netlink-log-protocol-failures.patch

is causing lots of messages like this to be logged on my console:

Sep  2 11:52:41 tornado kernel: DEBUG: Failed to load PF_NETLINK protocol 9

It seems to be caused by audit support not being enabled in as if I rebuild 
with audit support the message goes away :)


I'm also observing some USB messages logged:

I have problems with udev and latest -mm.
2.6.13 boots fine, but 2.6.13-mm1 blocks when starting udev.
System is Mandriva Cooker. As cooker, things are changing fast (initscripts,
udev, etc), but the fact is that with the same setup, plain .13 boots
and -mm1 blocks. Udev is 068 version.

Any idea about what can be the reason ?

TIA

There's some suspect locking in the /proc/devices seq_file conversion code.

Could you revert convert-proc-devices-to-use-seq_file-interface-fix.patch
then convert-proc-devices-to-use-seq_file-interface.patch?

This message means pretty much what it says: noise or something else 
caused the connection to be disabled.  In theory this could be caused by a 
problem with the host controller, the cable, or the printer.  Does this 
happen consistently with 2.6.13-mm1?  Did it happen with 2.6.12?

If it's not already in 2.6.13-mm1, this patch may help with the 
reinitialization:

Bingo !.

That did the trink. Booting fine again.
I meant, just with this, without reverting the other 2 patches.

Hi Andrew,
Patch above fixes problem with sysfs writes to adm9240 driver

It may have just been a red herring, as I haven't had the problem appear

Thanks for taking the time to reply.
