???? this problem is two and half year old. This problem has been reported long before 9.1 including cooker as well. I have been having it interminnently long before 9.1. Pavel (who did all the debugging) had this problem under RedHat - so without any relation to either mdk kernel or minilogd. The problem has been reported on a.o.l.m more than once for 9.1 as well. If archives of devfs mailing list were online you would see lo-o-ong thread about it there with exactly the same stacks posted by Juan. reverting to old minilogd simply puts it off until next kernel or initscripts change. Besides it will lose early boot messages again. I won't promise to eat my hat if it turns out to be completely unrelated - but I will be suprised very very much. -andrey actually I probably can promise it because I have no hat :))
