Hi Richard,
I got some of those under 2.1.107 (no devfs). There was a patch posted
for kmod that had a bad count on the last block. (39 instead of 36).
Somebody else posted a fix for that, but I think was who replied that
that was not correct (no explanation). I applied it with my own fix and
the msgs went away. Then I lost the patch and the patched version of
kmod when I moved to .110 or .111, but the msgs have not reappeared.
But, since I got the msgs without devfs, you are not completely to
blame.
