This thread may be ARM specific, but it sounds like a similar problem. if it's of no use, please ignore. http://lists.arm.linux.org.uk/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2003-November/018303.html http://lists.arm.linux.org.uk/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2003-November/018409.html Alex ----------------------------- > Have you verified that the UX bit is set correctly by your kernel?

I have made the machine print a '*' (no, I didn't use printk, but since it's my own console driver I'm pretty sure it can work in interrupts - all it does is hardware writes) whenever it gets a TLB refill and flushed the TLB before entering usermode. Guess what, I didn't get a single '*' after ERET. To verify my method, I've made a single read from the usermode PC from the kernel, and the '*' appeared. I don't know what's up.
