Hi Greg, First, sorry for not posting something about this sooner - I'd pinged Kay on IRC about it, and I *promise* I had planned to forward it to the scsi/ati guys, but work has been hell this week. Anyway, here's the initial report we got about it, along with a lot of debugging by other folks (including the OP, who I think is 'resonance' in that thread): http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/current-randomly-timed-kernel-oops-on-bootup-of-two-test-boxen-852843/ -RW -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-hotplug" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
