Guys, I'm simply reporting this "kernel bug", it seems that whenever NVidia drivers are loaded and there's a problem everyone automatically "blames" Nvidia for it, and in my experience, Nvidia drivers are very very rarely the cause of such problems. I've been using NVidia drivers since FC1 (and actually RH 7.1) with very little problems.
Yeah, _maybe_ you're right, but the point is that you can not be sure that the NVidia driver is not the problem cause you can not audit the code. If you try to report this but upstream in the kernel hierarchy, probably you will be required to try to reproduce the problem in a non-tainted kernel.
Also, some of these bugs are really hard to reproduce or completely unpredictable, just look out some of my previous posts with and without tainted kernels.
It's also true.
As for your useless "tainted" responses, I'm afraid falls on deaf ears, if you cannot see the "usefulness" of my posts, please don't respond to them.
This is just the "standard" procedure to verify if the problem is in the kernel itself or in an external module that nobody (but the vendor) can look at the code.
Albert. p.s. shouldn't you be posting in plain text and not html :)
I don't follow... Cheers
