I have a Adaptec 2939U SCSI controller and a Sony SDT-9000 DDS-3 tape drive connected to it. The aic7xxx is built-in to the kernel along with the tape support as well as scsi cdrom support and the scsi-emulation driver for my CD-RW. Here's the panic output: Unable to handle NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000c printing eip: c022d7e1 *pde = 00000000 Oops: 0000 CPU: 0 EIP: 0010:[] Not tainted EFLAGS: 00010092 eax: 00000000 ebx: dfd8d380 ecx: 00000018 edx: 00000000 esi: dfd4e600 edi: 00000000 ebp: 00000013 esp: dffc3e70 ds: 0018 es: 0018 ss: 0018 Process swapper(pid: 1, threadinfo=dffc2000 task=dffc6680) Stack: dfd8d380 04000001 00000000 c14d5800 00000292 c08093f1 00000013 dfd4e600 dffc3ed0 c03e8040 c03aacc0 00000013 dffc3ec8 c01095e6 00000013 dffc3ed0 dfd8d380 dffc2000 00000002 00001c80 00000000 dfd8d380 ff000000 c0107893 Call Trace: [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] Code: 8b 40 0c f0 fe 08 0f 88 d0 1e 00 00 8b 9e 88 00 00 00 81 e3 <0>Kernel panic: Aiee, killing interrup handeler! In interrupt handeler - not syncing I didn't run a ksymoops on it since I cannot boot 2.5.26 so I can't use its /proc/modules and /proc/ksym. Okay well I did a ksymoops against my current kernel 2.4.18 but using 2.5.26 sys map and its modules. I'm not sure if this has any value since it was made using a wrong version but here's it output: >>EIP; c022d7e1 <===== >>ebx; dfd8d380 <_end+1f95dac4/20453744> >>esi; dfd4e600 <_end+1f91ed44/20453744> >>esp; dffc3e70 <_end+1fb945b4/20453744> Trace; c01093f1 Trace; c01095e6 Trace; c0107893 Trace; c022fcba Trace; c01e48ac Trace; c01e3c03 Trace; c01e4d67 Trace; c01af686 Trace; c02324ab Trace; c022c3dc Trace; c0218cb9 Trace; c01e4b2f Trace; c02183a0 Trace; c010507b Trace; c0105718 Code; c022d7e1 00000000 <_EIP>: Code; c022d7e1 <===== 0: 8b 40 0c mov 0xc(%eax),%eax <===== Code; c022d7e4 3: f0 fe 08 lock decb (%eax) Code; c022d7e7 6: 0f 88 d0 1e 00 00 js 1edc <_EIP+0x1edc> c022f6bd <.text.lock.aic7xxx_linux+18/ab> Code; c022d7ed c: 8b 9e 88 00 00 00 mov 0x88(%esi),%ebx Code; c022d7f3 12: 81 e3 00 00 00 00 and $0x0,%ebx I don't have much experience submiting kernel bugs as you have probably noticed from this post, but if you need anything else to trace this thing now let me know and I'll provide it. As a side note I just tested 2.5.25 and it gives the same error. Cheers, Alex.
