Hello, since I upgraded from kernel 2.2.13 to 2.2.17, I get these messages too, but once, the system got frozen right after such a message. The only solution was the reset button... (the system was stable with 2.2.13 about half a year with the same configuration) Please mail me, if you need further information, I am not in the list. Regards, Peter
