Which mainline kernel? 2.4.26?

Can you run ksymoops?

Unfortunately I do not have any hardware to test the smart2 drivers on,
so I probably could not reproduce the problem. I checked in bitkeeper
to see if there had been any updates recently, but thre does not
seem to be anything relevant. Have you experienced the same problem
with the kernel-images on d.o?
