Hi all,

I am losing it a bit with these kernel update problems. I have four machines 
(3 at work and 1 at home) running 9.2 or 9.1 with the 2.6.8-24.10 kernel that 
give the following message  in /var/log/messages

 kernel: module smbfs unsupported by SUSE/Novell, tainting kernel.

The machine at home does not give me trouble when connecting to my wife's 
windows 2000 box although rsync seems to now bring the machine to a halt, but 
that is a separate issue that might also be related to this upgrade.

The three machines at work are a different story. I can copy files from the 
command line to mounted samba file systems without problem. However if I open 
an application, let's say kwrite, and try to save a file from it the save 
hangs and the file length is set to 0 effectively erasing the file with these 
messages in the log

Jan  5 15:13:02 starmax kernel: smb_trans2: invalid data, disp=0, cnt=0, 
tot=0, ofs=0
Jan  5 15:13:32 starmax kernel: smb_add_request: request [d6f7ee60, mid=3859] 
timed out!

I lost some files before I realized what was going and I am really not happy 
about this. Has anybody else seen this problem? Is there anything else I can 
do other then reverting to an older version of the kernel?
