Hallo all,

I get the mentioned error as often as longer the system is running. E.g.:
$ ls kviewshell/.libs/libkmultipage.so

The following is what strace say's:

[....]
3795 lstat("kviewshell/.libs/libkmultipage.so", 0xbffff718) = -1 EIO
(Input/output error)
[...]

The file really exists and is correct!

Another example is:
umount /boot

That's what strace is saying:
[...]

3762 open("/etc/mtab~3762", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT, 0) = 4
3762 close(4) = 0
3762 link("/etc/mtab~3762", "/etc/mtab~") = -1 ENOENT (No such file or
directory)
3762 unlink("/etc/mtab~3762") = 0
[....]

I've got no problems with 2.4.4ac9 and ac10. The Problems start with ac11 and
can be found until the actual ac17.
