The above is on 2.6.29-rc8 but I get it since 2.6.28 (apologies for not reporting it earlier). Both my thinkpad x60s and my vaio sz72b are affected. Reproducing it is very easy, I just need to download even a small file. After reading some older bug submissions I rebuilt the driver with debug support and loaded it with debug=0x43fff, the log is here: http://kamineko.org/kernel/kern.log The beginning of the log is 2.6.28 with no debug, then you can see a reboot and the module loaded with the debug option on 2.6.29-rc8. Is this a known problem? Is there any other information I can provide to help fixing it? Thanks -- mattia :wq!
