2.5.1-pre5 not easy to boot with devfs

As far as I can see,

when CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL is set
and
when devfsd is started at boot time
I get an Oops when remounting, rw the root fs :

Unable to handle kernel request at va 5a5a5a5e
...
EIP: 0010:[<c01516f9>] Not tainted
...
Process devfsd(pid:15,stackpage=cfd33000)
...

It boots OK with devfsd when CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL is not set.
It boots OK without devfsd when CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL is set (then devfsd
can be started after login).

PIII 650 256Mb devfsd-v1.3.20
