Created attachment 105235 [details] syslog including stack trace
On the machine in question the cdrom is scsi, and there's a hard disc that is configured as swap; swapping to it causes *lots* of activity to syslog. Slows things down! So far I haven't detected any real errors associated with these messages from 2.6.8 (as downloaded from fc2 updates), though I did get a kernel panic with 2.6.5. Nevertheless it is a real nuisance, soaking up disc bandwith logging it all. Note that the "Debug: " line is logged at kernel.err and the stack traces are at kernel.warning, so it would lose too much from the logs to configure syslogd not to report them.
Fedora Core 2 has now reached end of life, and no further updates will be provided by Red Hat. The Fedora legacy project will be producing further kernel updates for security problems only. If this bug has not been fixed in the latest Fedora Core 2 update kernel, please try to reproduce it under Fedora Core 3, and reopen if necessary, changing the product version accordingly. Thank you.
