I just encountered an Oops on my IBM ThinkPad T21 with 2.6.0-test11. I suspect that it has something to do with my battery being so low that it would not even give a reading. I had to copy down the oops and by the time I rebooted the machine, it had charged enough and booted successfuly. Here is the text of the oops: EIP: 0060:[] Not tainted EFLAGS: 00010002 EIP is at schedule+0xf9/0x590 eax: 00000001 ebx: c03acc20 ecx: c03acc40 edx: 28b4a89a esi: 00000000 edi: cfe38800 ebp: c0425cfc esp: c0425cb8 ds: 008b es: 007b ss: 0068 Process swapper (pid: 0, threadinfo=c0424000 task=c03acc20) Stack: c036bae0 c0424000 00000246 00000001 c0425d24 c02ae50d 00000000 00000000 00000000 c0425d10 00000246 0bb0fbdc 3465a476 00000005 fffbb5e4 c0425d10 cfe38800 00000002 c0125123 c0425d10 fffbb5ef 00004103 c0465d68 c0465d68 Call Trace: [] pci_read+0x35/0x50 [] schedule_timeout+0x63/0xc0 [] process_timeout+0x0/0x10 [] pci_set_power_state+0xd9/0x180 [] acpi_set_WOL+0x8b/0xa0 [3c59x] [] vortex_error+0x228/0x3c0 [3c59x] [] cs_interrupt+0x15e/0x190 [cs46xx] [] handle_IRQ_event+0x49/0x80 [] do_IRQ+0x8f/0x130 [] common_interrupt+0x18/0x20 [] enable_irq+0x3d/0xd0 [] __netdev_watchdog_up+0x38/0x70 [] vortex_timer+0xd9/0x580 [3c59x] [] vortex_timer+0x0/0x580 [3c59x] [] run_timer_softirq+0xcb/0x1c0 [] do_timer+0xe0/0xf0 [] do_softirq+0x59/0xa0 [] do_IRQ+0xfb/0x130 [] common_interrupt+0x18/0x20 [] apm_bios_call_simple+0x70/0xd0 [] apm_do_idle+0x23/0x80 [] apm_cpu_idle+0xa3/0x140 [] rest_init+0x0/0x60 [] cpu_idle+0x34/0x40 [] start_kernel+0x14d/0x160 [] unknown_bootoption+0x0/0x120 Code: ff 0e 8b 51 04 8b 43 20 89 50 04 89 02 c7 41 04 00 02 20 00 <0>Kernel panic: Fatal exception in interrupt In interrupt handler - not syncing Here is an lspci: 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corp. 440BX/ZX/DX - 82443BX/ZX/DX Host bridge (rev 03) 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corp. 440BX/ZX/DX - 82443BX/ZX/DX AGP bridge (rev 03) 00:02.0 CardBus bridge: Texas Instruments PCI1450 (rev 03) 00:02.1 CardBus bridge: Texas Instruments PCI1450 (rev 03) 00:03.0 Ethernet controller: 3Com Corporation 3c556B Hurricane CardBus (rev 20) 00:03.1 Communication controller: 3Com Corporation Mini PCI 56k Winmodem (rev 20) 00:05.0 Multimedia audio controller: Cirrus Logic CS 4614/22/24 [CrystalClear SoundFusion Audio Accelerator] (rev 01) 00:07.0 Bridge: Intel Corp. 82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4 ISA (rev 02) 00:07.1 IDE interface: Intel Corp. 82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4 IDE (rev 01) 00:07.2 USB Controller: Intel Corp. 82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4 USB (rev 01) 00:07.3 Bridge: Intel Corp. 82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4 ACPI (rev 03) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: S3 Inc. 86C270-294 Savage/IX-MV (rev 13) I've attached the .config file and an example of a successful boot. -- Misha Nasledov misha@nasledov.com
