I wonder whether the code in question was supposed to be running at all. Arkadiusz, what sort of USB devices do you have attached to the computer? What does /proc/bus/usb/devices say (you may need to do "mount -t usbfs none /proc/bus/usb" before you can see the file)? > And this is the data that has overwritten the code: > > 00 20 7b 0f 00 00 00 00 69 7f e0 ff 00 00 00 00 00 20 7b 0f 14 > ^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^ > > > Maybe someone have an idea of where does this data come from? In principle that data could be coming from anywhere. It doesn't have to be related at all to uhci-hcd. If you move the USB devices over to another Linux computer, does the new computer then have the same problem?
