Syncing my Palm m500 with coldsync 2.2.0 always results in an oops. This
happened on 2.4.12 and 2.4.14 (both with preemptive kernel patch from Robert
Love plus whatever patches Debian includes in its kernel-source-2.4.x
packages). There's also NVidia binary-only module loaded that taints the
kernel. If you think any of these factors (kpreempt/strange modules) are
relevant here, I can try hotsyncing with plain 2.4.14 (or maybe the current
2.4.15pre would be better?). However I've seen other reports about similair
oopses going back to late October, so I think it shouldn't be kpreempt/NVidia
specific.
ksymoops 2.4.3 on i686 2.4.14. Options used
-V (default)
-k /proc/ksyms (default)
-l /proc/modules (default)
-o /lib/modules/2.4.14/ (default)
-m /boot/System.map-2.4.14 (default)
Warning: You did not tell me where to find symbol information. I will
assume that the log matches the kernel and modules that are running
right now and I'll use the default options above for symbol resolution.
If the current kernel and/or modules do not match the log, you can get
more accurate output by telling me the kernel version and where to find
map, modules, ksyms etc. ksymoops -h explains the options.
(I've diffed the last .modules in /var/log/ksymoops/ (which was created
about 1 second before the oops, according to syslog) with
/proc/modules -- they were identical except for visor.o use count)

Another oops is very similair, so I'm only providing the differences:

Can you try 2.4.15-pre8? There should be a patch in there that fixes
this problem.
thanks,
