I have the same problem. proc is mounted ok, but it still says
it can not read and i get hundreds of the above message.

At the same time the messages appeared cron had started an updatedb for
locate.

When this job started, i also got bombarded with messages similar to the
following on the console:

_isofs_bmap: block>= EOF(2, 4096) _isofs_bmap: block>= EOF(2, 4096)

When i unmounted all 7 Cds (I have a Nakamichi 7 SCSI cd-rom changer)
all the problems with proc also went away.

Any ideas?

James.
