When I do "modprobe -r iwlagn; modprobe iwlagn" (2.6.38.6 with Intel-1030N) the kernel crashes (sometimes I need to try 2 or 3 times, and sometimes the modprobe -r is the one that crashes). This spams my monitor with several oops/panics before it finally dies. I can only see bottom of the last one, which probably isn't very meaningful. I tried loading netconsole, but I only get one or two lines before it stops sending/printing. I then tried kexec+crashkernel, but I only managed to get a backtrace for the last panic (which I think is just a result of memory corruption or something). Finally I tried compiling ramoops into my kernel, but it didn't want to load because of "No such device". -- Stevie Trujillo -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
