2.6.39.4 Boot Issue

[moseleymark]

This doesn't look related to the other 2.6.39.4 threads (that seem to be all solely build-related). I get this during boot on a 64-bit Debian Squeeze. 2.6.39.3 boots just fine. it's slightly garbled at the beginning, but I figured the context was important enough to leave it untouched. If there's anything helpful I should send along, I'll do so immediately. If it'd also be helpful, I can use 2.6.39.3's version of check_kill_permission in 2.6.39.4, if you don't think it'd cause additional issues. Thanks!

This should be fixed in the latest patch I just uploaded. Please let me know if you still have any issues.

Thanks for the report,
