Let see later because my very problem is there: a) if I rmmod atyfb the system crashes b) if I do not include "Generic sti fb" in the config of my kernel, when I insmod atyfb the system crashes also c) if I try to use Equinox serial mux (8P) (an oem HP product) module (with our without your patch Grant) the system crashes also? The system is a B180 model using Dino GSCPCI bridge and in the two cases (even if messages are a bit different) the TOC shows always a pb on this bus (the analyse of toc after the crash of insmod eqnx point out a pb in timer_? routine). And in fact I figure out that I never have to use this bridge for another card? Is somebody else used it successfuly or could it be broken? Thanks again for any help, Joel
