Please add the kernel OOPS, and stick it through ksymoops *on the faulty kernel* so we can see if anything Gentoo-related is to blame. If we can't really see anything Gentoo-related, we'll have to close this bug as INVALID as this is an upstream problem.
if this patch fixes it then it's a known issue: http://kernel.lpbproductions.com/2.6/mm/2.6.0-test5-mm4-devfsd-fix
I recompiled the new kernel with ksym and emerged ksymoops from portage but it refers to a *running* kernel whereas mine dies before completing the boot. Steph PS = patch was already applied to my kernel.
Essentially, we need a stack trace, one way or another. It might come with one already if you enabled the symbols during compilation [if so, can you write them down or something and send them over to us] or you can scour around the ksymoops and see if you can salvage the data somehow. Thanks.
Are you using mm-sources from the ebuild in portage? I have already included that patch that should fix this bug. If not, I don't see this as being a Gentoo bug at all. If so, lets try and find out why the patch doesnt fix the issue in your case. Thx, Brandon

Ouch sorry for the *lag* i thought i actually had replied to you. All revisions on the kernel like test{6,7,8,9}-mmX work fine, so i think i'll close it. Steph
