 |
|
| Has anyone else run into this? It crashes trying to "let go" of the usb devices. It works fine in 2.6.0, crashed on 2.6.0 r1 and 2.6.1 r1. Its hard to know exactly what its saying but it does segfault. Only it does it after shutting down logging so I cant look at the logs. Maybe I should get a polaroid. Anyone eles seeing this behavior? My mobo is an nforce2 if that helps. |

What error message does the kernel give before it segfaults?
If you compiled usb-support as modules you might try to put it 'inside' the kernel, but that's just a hunch. I had the same problem after compiling 'scanner' as a module, but after putting it in the kernel things worked very smoothly.

I stopped using the gentoo-dev-sources kernel since it always crashed my notebook on shutdown too. I would also loose some of my Kmail and Mozilla-Firebird configuration files. It has happened everytime I use one of the gentoo-dev-sources kernel.
It is safer to use the development-sources I think for now.

| Was it just the scanner module? If thats it I could do without it because I almost NEVER use the scanner. |

I'm not saying your problem is with the scanner module, just that it could be a problem with unloading certain modules during shutdown since that was the cause of the problem in my case.
When the kernel segfaults it should give some kind of indication as to what the problem is, and if this has to do with unloading a certain module the specific module will be named (in my case it was something like: 'rmmod: scanner failed. (Segmentation Fault)' accompanied by a lot of incomprehensible assembly code. In your case it could just as well be another module that causes the segfault.
To solve this problem just build the specific component 'into' the kernel (i.e. not as a module). 'scanner' by the way is located under 'Device Drivers --> USB Support --> USB Scanner Support'.
Let us know if you figured it out.

Yep, took out the scanner module completely and left everything else and now it works like a charm.  |
