Hi,

Messages like
Jul 10 16:02:40 core kernel: Cannot read proc file system:
9 - Bad file descriptor.
come from klogd itself, when it tries to serve request from some
process, not from kernel. I dont know what caused it though.

And about reading CD-ROMS with pre 2.0.35 - almost every time
when i try to read direcory of a CD i get messages:
_isofs_bmap: block>= EOF(4, 4096)
Am I only one who gets them? I added some debug code to dir.c for
isofs and saw that it couldn't finish reading of directory
correctly.
In pre 2.0.35 patch - inode.c:
- if( b_off > inode->i_size )
+ if( b_off >= inode->i_size )
I dont know if it's fix for some problem or just typo but if i
revert this change messages go away...
