Appears to only happen on first boot. Subsequent boots doesn't appear to reproduce this error.

Please try reproducing this issue with latest kernel update, based on rc4 (2.6.38-3.30).

Also these traces happen probably because the smsc95xx driver is eating a lot of kernel memory, probably more than it should.

Do you have any other device or usb disk connected at your usb ports?

Marking as invalid as I can no longer reproduce this issue with or without a USB stick inserted at boot time with a fresh image.
