If you found the bug with google, what did your source say?
This doesn't sound like Debian's problem. My guess is that it has to do
with the kernel you're running. I believe Russell King recently
corrected a problem in the Linux kernel where this was, in fact, a
spurious error generated by buggy logic in the kernel.
It might help if you told us what kernel you're using, and perhaps also
looked for help in a more appropriate forum (suggestions, anyone?).
Cheers,
Bill
