Hi all. I know this has come up in the past, but in case it's helpful, I figured I'd report that the kernel bug previously reported at (at least) http://www.linux-mips.org/archives/linux-mips/2007-10/msg00093.html is still present in current git kernels (more recently observed in 2.6.24-rc7-raq2-gaeb7040e-dirty). Here's the kernel output: Kernel bug detected[#1]: Cpu 0 $ 0 : 00000000 b000ec00 00000001 00000004 $ 4 : 81107760 7fb60f09 0000000e 83fb6000 $ 8 : 00000f09 7fb60f09 800f5fe8 00000000 $12 : 00000000 00000000 83ea6cc0 004038b4 $16 : 81107760 0000000e 83fb6000 7fb60f09 $20 : 803c0000 8fdf2cc0 00000000 86015e28 $24 : 00000006 8008d480 $28 : 86014000 86015de0 86015e2c 8008b2cc Hi : 00000000 Lo : 00000000 epc : 8008af9c kmap_coherent+0xc/0xe0 Not tainted ra : 8008b2cc copy_from_user_page+0xb0/0xe4 Status: b000ec03 KERNEL EXL IE Cause : 00800034 PrId : 000028a0 (Nevada) Process cat (pid: 5739, threadinfo=86014000, task=804b9178) Stack : 8fdf2cc0 7fb60f09 83fb6000 0000000e 0000000e 7fb60f09 83fb6000 00000000 0000000e 800e0484 8fc75178 804b9178 000800d0 00000000 883bbf09 0000000e 86015e2c 86015e28 8fe0dbfc 81107760 8fdf2cf4 00000000 8fdf2cc0 00000000 0000000e 83fb6000 00000400 8fc75178 00001000 0052c7c8 00000000 80133f5c 8fc75178 8fa26704 83fb6000 86015f18 00000000 0052c7c8 8fc75178 83fb6000 ...

Yes, this would seem to be the same problem as: http://www.linux-mips.org/cgi-bin/mesg.cgi?a=linux-mips&i=20071211221327.GB2150%40paradigm.rfc822.org There is a similar problem in 2.6.23. David Daney
