Hi,
I am doing some testing on IBM Lanstreamer MCA tokenring adapter on
IBM PS/2 server-9595. Inserting the driver ( as module) it is perfect. But
when I do an ifconfig tr0 up then I get an kernel panic and Oops message is
printed out . It occures when the function interruptible_sleep_on_timeout()
is called within the device driver .. . I am using kernel-2.4.0 with
redhat -7 installation. Same effect was also there on 2.4.2 .But I didn't
had any problem when the driver is compiled and run on 2.2.x version . Can
anyone help me to resolve the problem. . The following is the output of
ksymoops < oops.txt message.
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address
