Hi,

While running my http://vanheusden.com/pyk/ script (which randomly
inserts and removes modules) I triggered the folllowing oops in a 2.6.26
kernel on a Celeron 400 (Mendocino):

Will see if I can compile it tonight. Takes a while since it is a
celeroon @ 400MHz :-)

As your patch is based on 2.6.27 I compiled the 2.6.27 kernel with it. But
something odd is going on: when 2.6.27 boots, right after the initrd loading
the screen-resolution gets changed or so, so that most text is no longer
visible. Also the system seems to halt. Unfortunately too early for
netconsole to emit the errors.

Yes, the patch is based on 2.6.27, but it can be applied to 2.6.26
without problem.

Could you try it with 2.6.26 again?

BTW, for 2.6.27, did you set vga=normal or other things?

Now compiling for 2.6.26.

> BTW, for 2.6.27, did you set vga=normal or other things?

None of that. Just a new kernel. 2.6.26 doesn't do that. It is as if the
videocard is set to some 320x240 resolution or so.

Hi,

Could you try move the flush_scheduled_work to the beginning of
floppy_module_exit function and report the test result?

If it still does not works, please file a bug in bugzilla.kernel.org

(sorry for late reply)

Hi,

Bit of an issue: 2.6.26 did funky things with the display and 2.6.28 with
that patch applied throws an oops during boot (which i cannot capture
due also the screenres. issue and netconsole not working at that moment).
Will start a 2.6.27 compile with the patch.
