This seems to be fixed "upstream", along with other issues regarding ieee1394 on linux 2.6.19, according to [0]:
--------------------------------- kernel 2.6.19 release notes From: Stefan Richter: Date: 2006-12-03 3:00 am eth1394: memory alignment problem fixed ieee1394: recursive locking fixed ohci1394: initializes before most other device drivers to aid kernel debugging with firescope raw1394: kernel freeze in address range mapping functions fixed --------------------------------- Since I also experimented a kernel panic because of this bug, I think that the proper severity should be re raised, since it surely "breaks the system up". Could this code merged on 2.6.18 or the whole 2.6.19 shall be let entering unstable and then etch ? (And since bug# are still high, maybe the shortcoming 2.6.20 could be considered for future inclusion in unstable too... joking!) [0] http://www.linux1394.org -- ESC:wq
