Comment:
The repeat messages stem from the wireless driver probe requests:
{{{
KERN: [net/atheroswifi/0] ieee80211_ref_node
(ieee80211_send_probereq:1748) 0xe2136000<1c:bd:b9:d2:eb:c7> refcnt 3
KERN: Last message repeated 20 times.
Last message repeated 2 times
}}}
The KERN prefixed ones are from the kernel. The first repeat is the repeat
indicator of the last kernel log message (the wifi one). The unprefixed
one is the repeat indicator of the syslog daemon. In this case the kernel
repeat of 20 is itself repeated twice. In an otherwise idle system this
does not look problematic.
As noted above the "/etc/shadow" message is normal. The shadow password
file is only created if you actually set a password for your user or
create other users.
As a side note: From reading the syslog it looks like you are running your
disk controller in IDE/compatibility mode which, except for actual
compatibility with already installed other OSes that require it, is rather
suboptimal. Using AHCI mode reduces the overhead of disk IO greatly.
The actual problem is unfortunately still hard to diagnose with the given
revision. Even though it is only a single hrev, it points to a merge
commit that brings in a lot of changes at once. Note also that there were
some issues with the merged scheduler branch early on that only got
exposed on certain hardware and were subsequently fixed in later hrevs.
Ideally you could bisect the scheduler branch itself, to find the commit
within that first caused these symptoms. Unfortunately there are no pre-
built images of that branch AFAIR.
