Hi Matthew,
well, I've got VERY crappy screen photo, my collegue made using his cellphone, You can check
it on http://nik.lbox.cz/downloads/sym53c8xx-crash.jpg
But we can quite easily reproduce the problem, I'll try to do it today evening and make a
better screenshot...
I'll report further then.
Regarding warning, couldn't it then be surpressed, if it's harmless? Kernel then gets tainted,
which makes me a bit nervous :-)
regards
nik
