Even all of the last bisect steps still showed the same line... > If I look at what patches remain, it seems that some other (earlier) > patch that is new in 2.6.23-rc4-mm1 is the trigger, but it will only > fail together with a second patch. I'm now finished with bisecting, still 2 patches, but I don't want to spend another two hours waiting... And the winners are: (from broken-out patchset of 2.6.23-rc4-mm1) maps2-simplify-interdependence-of-proc-pid-maps-and-smaps.patch maps2-move-clear_refs-code-to-task_mmuc.patch Before these patches I have never seen the bug, with these I only got two good boots when trying to recreate the problem. But even the kernels that did one good boot failed on the second try. > > As for you printk: >From the last testkernel (up to incl. maps2-move-clear_refs-code-to-task_mmuc.patch) Good: Oct 3 15:50:39 treogen [ 3.780000] XXX sil24 cb=ffff810005dd0000 cb_dma=5dd0000 Oct 3 15:50:39 treogen [ 3.790000] XXX sil24 cb=ffff810005de0000 cb_dma=5de0000 Bad: Oct 3 16:56:46 treogen [ 3.750000] XXX sil24 cb=ffff810005de0000 cb_dma=5de0000 Oct 3 16:56:46 treogen [ 3.760000] XXX sil24 cb=ffff810005df0000 cb_dma=5df0000 I have *NO* clue how these procfs changes can kill the sata_sil24 driver, but all bisect steps point to these two patches as cause or trigger of the bug.
