Re: Problems with kernel oops when installing HVR-1800.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I tried to install a hvr-1800 in it yesterday, and I get a kernel oops on it and X won't start.   I compiled up a 2.6.27.10 kernel for it, and moved to that, and I still get the oops.    Checked my vmalloc and I am fine, but increased it anyways to 384 just for grins.

That is a nasty bug that you are hitting. You shouldn't get NULL dereferences at any time. I'd either file this at the kernel's bugzilla or try to get it attention some other way. I'm not a systems programmer so I can't really help with a code fix.


Here is more than enough debug info, I hope.  :)

Have you tried  removing the 1250? Or moving the 1800 to a different slot? Or even manually placing the 1250 and 1800 on different IRQs via the BIOS? I'm not sure if any of this will work, but it might be worth a try.

Also, what does your relevant kernel config look like? I have the 1800 and mine is:

#

CONFIG_VIDEO_DEV=m
CONFIG_VIDEO_V4L2_COMMON=m

#

Not all of these are needed, but my 1800 works perfectly with all these, so hopefully it is something you can work off of. This config is from kernel 2.6.27.1.

Okay, I noticed something else about this.  With only the 1250 install, I still show a conflict, but it's with nvidia.  Which I am guessing is my graphics module.

That is a good point. If you do report a bug make sure you are running the open source nv driver and not the proprietary nvidia driver. I am running the proprietary driver without issues, but trying the nv driver is another thing for you to try.

The nv drvier I don't believe is going to work for me at all.   I use Composite video out from my MB.
