Message-ID: <45BA2341.40008@inov.pt> (raw)
Hi,
I'm having a problem with the latest 2.6.16 kernel (I've found the
problem on 2.6.16.37 and 2.6.16.38). I have a application that retreives
data from a GPS connected on a serial port. From time to time a get a
kernel Oops, like this:

virtual address 00000000
