Perhaps the following will prove more interesting, although I admit I'm exploring history here... In September of last year, a bug was filed against Debian's apcupsd package due to a NULL pointer problem: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=270308 At the time, the submitter was using a 2.4.27 kernel. Later in the thread, the problem is evidently reproducible up until the 2.6.9 release. Perhaps the (limited) trace captured in that original submission provides some useful information. I asked the owner of the Debian apcupsd package the following question, which this group might be far better-equipped to answer (if there is an answer): > I am wondering if the (apparently) faulty USB code in the 2.4 series > was ever identified? Alternatively, did any of the improvements in > 2.6.9 and beyond get back-ported to subsequent 2.4 releases > (2.4.28-29)? (My connectivity to work from home is via a VPN client only available on 2.4 currently. Thus, I've been reluctant to jump to 2.6) Thanks for your time, Matt - -- Matthew Lovell HP Systems and VLSI Technology -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Processed by Mailcrypt 3.5.8 <http://mailcrypt.sourceforge.net/> iD8DBQFCBG1yXzAhsjkCuEoRAqVPAKCkIwvlk5jt8d+C231KLoeOoJYKIgCglvyi ivhzSbYBwqpzesk6oQwKlDU= =yzvf -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IntelliVIEW -- Interactive Reporting Tool for open source databases.
