Re: Kernel 2.6, NVIDIA and 460GX
Hi again,
Google reveals that the pci_find_subsys crash is a well-known problem
since 2.6.7 kernel that seems to be due to the NVIDIA closed-source
driver, and not the Linux kernel. On the other architectures (namely
i386 and x86_64), the solution was to update to NVIDIA 6x.xx driver.
Unfortunately, we're stuck with 53.36/53.47 on ia64 and the problem is
still actual for me. Since David runs a 2.6.10 kernel (so definitively
post-2.6.7) on a zx1-based workstation (IIRC) with NVIDIA 53.36 driver,
I'm wondering if the problem could be partially due to the chipset
driver. Could it be possible that the pci_find_subsys problem never
exhibited on zx1-based systems and only affects i460GX-based ones?
Have a nice day.
