Hi,

we just tried to boot one of our systems using 2.6.8-rc2-mm2, unfortunately it 
oopses after running pivot_root and init:

(written down manually)

Debug: sleeping function called from invalid context at 
include/asm/uaccess.h:471

in_atomic():1, irqs_disabled():0
dump_stack
__might_sleep
shmem_file_write
vfs_write
sys_write
sysenter_past_esp

Those messages are endless repeated.

Some additional explanations whats done in the initrd:

- runs dhclient
- mounts / and /etc and /var
- then:

#umount the old /proc
/bin/umount /oldroot/proc

#/dev stuff
/bin/mount -t tmpfs -o size=5m tmpfs /dev

#/usr/bin/[ "${INITRD_DBG}" = "10" ] && exec /bin/sh
/bin/echo "Running /sbin/init"
exec /sbin/init

==> here the oops occurs


System:

CPU: AthlonXP 2000+
mainboard: gigabyte 7dxe
RAM: 3GB ECC


Please tell me if you nedd further information.

Cheers,
	Bernd
