That's good news. Now, I'll hope someone more in touch with the I2C hardware can take a look at drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-omap.c and suggest some way to stop getting this error ... nice that it's rather reproducible, if one were to debug it! As I noted in the message above, I see this error in other cases too. All of them "of course" should be made to handle such faults better. But virtually nothing in the I2C stack does sane fault handling, so we also need the i2c-omap code to stop misbehaving. - Dave -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-omap" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
