Hi people,
I have a kernel panic with latest softmac snapshot and lastest bcm43xx
revision. Before, I was using the mercurial repository, and with the
last revision it worked fine. Now i've switched to the git tree, but
don't want to check out the whole kernel, so I've only picked up the
snapshots. But i get kernel panick as soon as I try to associate.
Picture:

(quite large)
What could I do ? (retry with latest mercurial rev ?)
Thanks for the picture, but please reduce your camera resolution.
Done
AFAIK,
the mercurial repository is no longer being updated.
yes but this version worked here :)
I am using the full git repository and am not having any problems. With
some patches I recently submitted, I can even use WPA-PSK encryption. I
pulled the latest snapshot just before I started writing this, and
diffed it against the appropriate section of my full tree. Other than my
local patches, there were no differences in ieee80211 or softmac.
How should I do that ? Is there a readme or an howto to build modules
from the git tree ?
Building from the git tree should be the same as using a 2.6.15 kernel and the snapshot. I used git
to get the entire tree and built my 2.6.15-gxxxx system right in the directory where git put it.
I have a couple of questions: What module makes your kernel tainted, and
is it possible to run without loading that module?
It's bcm43xx:
Jan 12 12:32:52 hidalgo kernel: bcm43xx: no version for
"ieee80211softmac_wx_set_rate" found: kernel tainted.
There has to be something wrong in the build process. That routine is mentioned in an
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL macro, which should eliminate this message. I'm going to build from the snapshot
and will let you know the results.
Unlicensed binary
modules can have unintended consequences that may show up in wildly
different locations. If I remember correctly, the kernel starts counting
its oopses with #0 whereas your screen showed #1. Can you post the
details from that part of /var/log/messages that covers the run that you
photographed?
Yes:

No other oops...
Even this one didn't get saved in the logfile when your computer crashed. Certainly doesn't make it
easy. As soon as I test the build fro the snapshot, I'll be back in touch.
