"ps" oopsing on Asus 500-WLG Premium

[Bill Trost <trost@cloud.rain.com>]

I'm trying to get Debian running on my Asus, and two "ps" commands
are panicing during startup, back-to-back.  This is from the
http://www2.wpkg.org/debian-asus/openwrt-brcm-2.6-jffs2-128k.trx
kernel image as of this morning, along with
http://www2.wpkg.org/debian-asus/debian-mipsel-2007-Jan-28.tar.bz2.

The following oops message is from /var/log/dmesg as recorded on the USB
disk. I've only included the first panic, as I doubt the second one is
any more informative (not that the first one is...).

I also noticed, after much messing with network interfaces and adding
ssh to run level S, that the wireless interface is getting left with
the name eth0_rename (the LAN ports are eth2, and I assume the WAN is
eth1). I'm not sure that has anything to do with anything, but though
I'd mention it.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should do to make the miracle
occur? Even if I could work around ps not working at startup, I don't
think I'd want to run the system that way.

Thanks,
Bill
