Hi Nick, after upgrading my toolchain and kernel-buildsystem I found some time spending in getting some more infos on the systemd w/ vfs-scale problem. Eric reported in [1] same problems as I have seen. My systemd is now v15+git20101210.8a9ef77 and Linux kernel is: # cat /proc/version Linux version 2.6.37-rc6-686 (Debian 2.6.37~rc6-5~next20101220.dileks.1) (sedat.dilek@xxxxxxxxx) (gcc version 4.5.2 (Debian 4.5.2-1) ) #1 SMP Mon Dec 20 19:03:29 CET 2010 I could take some new pics [2]. [3] shows a kernel NULL pointer dereference (dmesg command in kdb-console), but the address is not displayed, might be I need to set some additional kernel-debug-options. [4] shows the output of "btp 4" (backtrace PID #4 from kdb-console), see also in [3] "*pde = 00000000" (8 zeroes) shows <4> (PID #4) at the beginning of the line. I have also a "btp 1" (systemd has PID #1). Hope this helps to narrow down the problem. If you need additional informations or (disasm-ed) files, please let me know. Some pics are doubled, sorry for the bad quality, I won't be a surgery (need a calm hand, turned off auto-flash of my digicam is the real cause I guess ;-)).
