Those are with my tree or bk 2_4_devel, but the problem may be present elsewhere. So basically, the kernel tends to die in various locations where things should be just fine, but I did notice one thing: In most of these cases, I had softirq around in the backtrace (either running in softirqs, or having do_softirq() in the backtrace). There is one case where I didn't have it: it dies inside power_save(), so probably because an interrupt that happened just before messed things up. I'm wondering if we might be running into some stack overflow... Any clue ? Ben. ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
