Hi,
I'm hitting this as well.It seems to be triggered by my non-existing
floppy device.
As there is no real floppy device connected, no driver is loaded, so we
never see a /driver directory. This loop then goes all the way up to /,
where it loops forever at 100% cpu.
from probe_controller()
151 while cpath and not os.path.exists(cpath+'/driver'):
152 cpath = os.path.dirname(cpath)
153 if cpath in controllers:
154 return controllers[cpath]
