Booted firmware in need of attention? ;-) The other device on irq 17 is a jmicron pata controller with no disks attached. One more datapoint: this oops only seems to occur if udev loads p54 _and_ firmware is present. Without firmware the driver (obviously) does nothing an later I can happily modprobe/rmmod it when firmware is in place without incident (with the timeout error below). > > Loading the module manually gets a bit further: > > > > p54pci 0000:05:01.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 17 > > p54pci 0000:05:01.0: firmware: requesting isl3886 > > p54: LM86 firmware > > p54: FW rev 2.13.1.0 - Softmac protocol 5.5 > > phy2: device does not respond! > --- no, this time it just doesn't respond at all => crashed > > p54pci 0000:05:01.0: PCI INT A disabled > > p54pci: probe of 0000:05:01.0 failed with error -16 > > Did it work with an older firmware?

Reloading p54pci with the lmac_2.7.0.0 firmware hard-hangs the machine (no net, no sysrq-b). Machine is Intel P35-based with 4GB ram.
