Hi,

I have since upgraded the kernel to kernel-2.6.8-1.521 and I still get 
the notice up on the console.

Badness in interruptible_sleep_on_timeout at kernel/sched.c:2545
  [<022f47ef>] interruptible_sleep_on_timeout+0x5d/0x23a
  [<0211a8ee>] default_wake_function+0x0/0xc
  [<022f4c1a>] __cond_resched+0x14/0x3b
  [<022a00ef>] netdev_run_todo+0x29/0x2c1
  [<06897e41>] rtl8139_thread+0x38/0x134 [8139too]
  [<06897e09>] rtl8139_thread+0x0/0x134 [8139too]
  [<021041d9>] kernel_thread_helper+0x5/0xb


Any more ideas anyone? Or can people point me to a place to look for 
information? Do I need to get in contact with the kernel developers at all?


TIA
