I'm afraid to say it, but I'm considering christening this kernel as
"the most whinging 2.5 kernel thus far". 8/

I'm currently tracking down the cause of all these whinges, eg:

VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem).
Freeing init memory: 88K
bad: scheduling while atomic! (00000001 0 1 swapper)
[<c02372d0>] (schedule+0x0/0x490) from [<c0258cc4>] (do_generic_mapping_read+0x48c/0x49c)
