Thank you Antonio. That helps assure me that the results I'm seeing apply to the patch. As also reported above, I now can't shutdown cleanly without hitting the wifi switch. I'm not certain whether this is a new behavior or heightened awareness of an existing issue.
for clarity's sake, 11 hours ago, I removed... linux-backports-modules-intrepid linux-backports-modules-intrepid-generic linux-backports-modules-2.6.27-7-generic ...and followed that with a reboot. Then I patched and rebooted again. Then I rebooted several times and haven't seen the "scheduling" bug. Currently synaptic shows no backports packages installed. $ ls -lc --full-time Desktop/bug286285 total 4020 -rw-r--r-- 1 robb robb 1057703 2008-11-03 18:31:30.000000000 -0800 iwl3945.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 robb robb 1076975 2008-11-03 18:31:30.000000000 -0800 iwlagn.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 robb robb 1964712 2008-11-03 18:31:30.000000000 -0800 iwlcore.ko $ ls -lc --full-time /lib/modules/2.6.27-7-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/ total 4396 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1057703 2008-11-03 18:31:35.000000000 -0800 iwl3945.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 125004 2008-11-03 18:31:35.000000000 -0800 iwl3945.ko~ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1076975 2008-11-03 18:31:35.000000000 -0800 iwlagn.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 129776 2008-11-03 18:31:35.000000000 -0800 iwlagn.ko~ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1964712 2008-11-03 18:31:35.000000000 -0800 iwlcore.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 111220 2008-11-03 18:31:35.000000000 -0800 iwlcore.ko~ $ modprobe --list | grep "iwlwifi" /lib/modules/2.6.27-7-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwlagn.ko /lib/modules/2.6.27-7-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl3945.ko /lib/modules/2.6.27-7-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwlcore.ko $ lsmod | grep "iwl" iwlagn 99844 0 iwlcore 91972 1 iwlagn rfkill 17176 2 iwlcore led_class 12164 1 iwlcore mac80211 216820 2 iwlagn,iwlcore cfg80211 32392 3 iwlagn,iwlcore,mac80211 HTH & thanks everyone! -- kernel 2.6.27-7-generic bug BUG: scheduling while atomic: swapper/0/0x00000100 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/286285 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
