<div>No long time ago I made some changes to optimize kernel performance for desktop as described here (it's in Portuguese, but can be undertood reading the commands and files) and this changes caused the above errors (in Ubuntu 10.10 and Fedora 14). I undid the changes and I had no more errors.</div>
