Dear Sir,
today I installed a new kernel, 2.4.13. As I wanted to collect my mail via irda and my mobile, the system froze on me the moment the irda connection was terminated. The same thing happened when I tried to reproduce this behaviour. This time the system could not connect via my mobile. The error message was something about all bits set to zero or such. I regularly receive this message but I think that's due to my provider which has very low reliability. Nonetheless, the moment the message was printed to /var/log/messages the system froze yet another time. My system consists of a Redhat 7.1 system with a fresh and clean kernel-source from kernel.org. The kernel version is 2.4.13, but no ac-patch. The computer is a Fujitsu-Siemens Lifebook, the mobile a Siemens S35, if that matters. I'd be happy, if I could collect more data about this crash but I couldn't find any entries in the system logs after recovering my hard disk. I will have to do a sync before sending this message as my only internet connection is via my mobile and I expect another crash (I deleted the old kernels because everything seemed to work fine... :( My kernel-config: <M> IrDA subsystem support --- IrDA protocols <M> IrLAN protocol < > IrNET protocol <M> IrCOMM protocol [ ] Ultra (connectionless) protocol [ ] IrDA protocol options Infrared-port device drivers ---> --- SIR device drivers x x <M> IrTTY (uses Linux serial driver) <M> IrPORT (IrDA serial driver) --- Dongle support [ ] Serial dongle support --- FIR device drivers < > NSC PC87108/PC87338 < > Winbond W83977AF (IR) < > Toshiba Type-O IR Port < > SMC IrCC (Experimental) < > ALi M5123 FIR (Experimental) < > VLSI 82C147 SIR/MIR/FIR (Experimental) With kind regards, Philipp. -- Philipp Boerker - [EMAIL PROTECTED] In principio erat verbum - the rest is silence (John) (Hamlet) _______________________________________________ Linux-IrDA mailing list - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pasta.cs.UiT.No/mailman/listinfo/linux-irda
