Hello all.
Saturday night, while I was testing my tape backup procedure, I did a full
restore into an unused partition. I tried an rm -r on that partition, and
got a kernel panic, locking my system. Happened again later that night.

I discovered today, while attempting to compile the modutils for the
Linux 2.1.21 development kernel, that Debian installs a set of kernel
includes into /usr/include/{asm,linux}, rather than the standard
symlinks to the kernel source tree!
