Summary: ssi-addnode-dynamic causes new nodes to kernel panic

Initial Comment:
Running Debian v5 2.6.14.
Whenever we attempt to use the ssi-addnode-dynamic all nodes booting will kernel panic when init calls the DHCP client (udhcpc). The cluster works perfectly when using manual ssi-addnode. This has been tested in VMWARE (e1000 emulation) and several dissimilar physical machines.

Further debug info forth-coming - Any feedback on what you'd require?

Message:
It's crashing maybe at at a call to kmem_cache_alloc

The call trace is
sys_select -> do_select -> ssidev_poll_cli_alloc -> BANG!

Looks dodgy.

Message:
Unfortunately I'm unable to get the exact error as I don't know how to dump
the panic to any sort of log. I have patched together as many frames of a
captured video session of it here: http://i32.tinypic.com/2rw5h5y.jpg

Message:
We've tried a many multitude of things such as another DHCP client, a newly
compiled version of udhcpc, the version of udhcpc within the latest
busybox, etc to no avail. Has anyone had any success with addnode-dynamic?

On an unrelated note - Is this the right place to post? It has been
difficult to find where this community hands out.
