First, there may be another (better) solution than simply disabling cups startup. I'm just not aware of it. Does anybody on the list have an idea ?
Second, there is still a possibility that your kernel oops is not related to cups at all :-( Looks very similar to the problem I had, though.
Now, disabling cupd startup: I guess that depends on the distribution you're using (and also your configuration).
If you're using RedHat or something similar, I can give you all the details. Otherwise, look at 'man chkconfig' or 'man service', that may help.

Hi Mathieu,
I've just discovered what cups is, and I'm fairly certain I don't need it. Unfortunately I'm not terribly skilled with linux, so I have no idea about how to disable it. Could you give me some instruction on permanently disabling it from startup?
Thanks, Tim

I remember I had something similar a while ago, using a usb to serial : same kernel oops at boot time, and no oops when the device is plugged after boot is complete. I've read somewhere that this "may be" due to cups thinking that the usb device is a printer. I indeed noticed that the kernel oops occurred during cups setup. Well I don't now if that's the exact explanation, but still, disabling cups startup worked for me : no more oops at boot time. If you don't need cups, you can try that. Otherwise, I'm sure somebody will come up with a better explanation and solution. Hope that helps.
