As I said, I just booted a VM with this kernel and when I looked again I saw this. I assumed this happen during boot. I had used this kernel in this VM before without problems, and I still use it -- only saw this once. I'll keep an eye on it and see if I can gather more info if it happens again. Cheers, -- Lu?s
