If it was 248 days 13 hours 13 minutes 56.48 seconds this represents a 32 bit counter on a 5ms clock overflowing. I'd look for that in the RocketPort code. Although I remember Jeff remarking about something else failing at about the same uptime. {^_^} Joanne Dow, jdow@earthlink.net - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
