This time i installed 3.2.35, maybe some changes between .34 and .35 did this? Should i try .34?

Btw, i never ever saw such a message from grsecurity yet. Will write to grsec mailing list about explanation.

Unfortunately not, it didn't log anything and tons of messages were printed only to console (i was logged via IP-KVM). It looked that printing is infinite, i rebooted it after few minutes.
