Do you have such a USB device? It could be some module mismatch, it looks suspicious and from a quick look the gyration driver does nothing bad in that init path. Try a make clean and remove/rebuild/reinstall all the modules on the target system. If that doesn't help perhaps disable CONFIG_HID_GYRATION, but from your other oops something more seems to be broken anyways. > [ 5.308739] [<ffffffff81009048>] do_one_initcall+0x38/0x1a0 > [ 5.308739] [<ffffffff81a0e6b5>] kernel_init+0x172/0x1ca > [ 5.308739] [<ffffffff81036a0a>] child_rip+0xa/0x20 > [ 5.308739] [<ffffffff81a0e543>] ? kernel_init+0x0/0x1ca > [ 5.308739] [<ffffffff81036a00>] ? child_rip+0x0/0x20 -Andi -- ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -- Speaking for myself only. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-input" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
