Subject: 2.5.40 More on ppa.o (Zip Drive)
Date: Tue, 01 Oct 2002 22:24:11 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <3D9A82FB.1000300@hotmail.com> (raw)

I'm now up and running with 2.5.40, thank you!  No obvious IDE
problems so far--but it's very early yet.

I applied Gert Vervoort's patch to ppa.c which allowed the
compile to finish, but there is still a problem.

When I do a modprobe (or insmod) ppa I get a segfault from
insmod. [version 2.4.19/Debian testing]

The wierd part is that ppa seems to get loaded in spite
of the segfault, and it actually seems to work.  I've
tried only reading the Zip so far--considering the error
message I didn't try writing to it.

A partial listing of the messages I see when loading ppa:

bad: scheduling while atomic! [series of hex numbers]
Call trace: [another series of hex numbers]
[repeat the above two steps]
Unable to handle kernel paging request at ....
[more messages including Oops: 0004]
process insmod exited with preempt_count 1
Segmentation fault.

Unfortunately these errors only print out on a
virtual terminal, not on an xterm, so I have to
copy them by hand.  I can copy them more completely
if it would help.
