That's a known heisenbug on ia64, and it's been around for a while, not new
to recent kernels. Generally it disappears if you reboot, or try
introducing debugging to find it...
Thanks,

Thanks for the info. In that case I'll try to boot 17rc1 a few times more. I
never saw this with .16 nor the Mandrake default .8mdk10. I had trouble
getting the initrd working with .17rc1 (never succeeded), so I compiled ext3
and qla1280 statically as opposed to .16 where I had them as modules. I
don't know if that has anything to do with it.
The reiserfs incident is still a bit worrying...
