Hi Bernard,
These warnings usually mean there is some local_irq_disable/enable()
instead of local_irq_save/restore() etc. on the xmit path (maybe in a
network driver used for netconsole). Anyway, as usual, it would be
nice to test it with some more current kernel, and if it's still
there, add some info about this driver and additional patches.
Thanks,
Jarek P.
