Hi,
More testing on 2.6.0-test6-bk8 on my SMP box...
After modprobing irport, a modprobe of the actisys module
hangs forever.
Conditions : irport was not yet attached/up. I had irdadump
running and an irda-usb active, and I had just rmmod sir_dev.
I can see that modprobe is taking 100% cpu :
---------------------------------------
1786 pts/1 R 4:11 modprobe actisys
---------------------------------------
I can't kill it !
No messages in the log.
---------------------------------------
# cat /proc/modules
actisys 4032 1 - Loading 0xd0859000
irport 12672 0 - Live 0xd0884000
irda 182260 5 actisys,irport,irnet,irda_usb, Live 0xd08d3000
---------------------------------------
After a clean reboot, I just tried to modprobe actisys even
before modprobing irport. Same result :
--------------------------------
# cat /proc/modules
actisys 4032 1 - Loading 0xd0859000
irda 182260 1 actisys, Live 0xd08d3000
--------------------------------
Any tip for debugging that ?
Thanks...
Jean
