No, your patch didn't work. I have still the oops.
I investigates, and the oops come in the mountall script (in init.d), when running: mount -avt nonfs,nosmbfs. (I noticed thet at this point kernel load floppy modules, but when I removed also the floppy module, the oops reappers.)
Note: only the first time I run the script the kernel oops, thus on normal boot sequence debian would not mount my partitions :-(.
