Hi,
>From times to times, my laptop oops at shutdown time, just after quitting
XFree. The computer then hangs and you have to press (5 seconds) the big
red switch to go on.
The computer is a Toshiba S3000-X11 with a celeron 1GHz. System is linux
redhat-7.3 with most updates, XFree-cvs and a 2.4.20pre5 kernel with
acpi patches and the tosh3k module from Bruno Ducrot.
Oops number 1 appeared in a vt (framebuffer vt) just after XFree exits.
The shutdown procedure was stopped. I could switch VT, and even type
?root? at the logging prompt of VT number 2. At that point, oops number 2
appeared. After that point, I could still switch VT, but even typing
login names at prompt wouldn't work. I wrote down by hand both oops; I
hope I didn't make any mistake. Nothing in the logs. The Oops are at the
end of the email.
Note that my kernel is only tainted by the ipchains.o module; I don't use
any proprietary modules, and I use the vanilla i830.o module and not the
one found in XFree's sources.
Appart from that, I have another problem with this kernel: USB-storage
doesn't work with large file transfers: I mounted an zip-250 on USB; it
worked fine, I could ? ls ? and stuff. When I tried to copy a 70meg file
on the zip, the system first become very unresponsive (difficult to move
the mouse pointer, keyboard focus not following, big lattency (couple of
seconds) between key presses and response, etc), and then hung
completely. In contrast, it worked perfectly with redhat's kernel.
As I know there are a lot of USB fix at the moment, the problem might
have disapeared in recent kernels. I will try more recent kernel in some
time and get back to you if my usb problem is still present. However, if
you want a more thourough report on this zip problem before I upgrade the
kernel, drop me a note.
Regards,
?ric Brunet

ksymoops 2.4.4 on i686 2.4.20-pre5. Options used
-V (default)
-k /proc/ksyms (default)
-l /proc/modules (default)
-o /lib/modules/2.4.20-pre5/ (default)
-m /boot/System.map-2.4.20-pre5 (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.
