Solid lockup on latest benh 2.6 kernel + PB 12"
Hi,
I've got an Albook G4 12" powerbook (NVidia GFX) and I have been experiencing
a number of hard crashes since installing the latest benh rsync'd kernel and
Debian Sid (same result as a two day old benh rsync'd one). (compiled
gcc-3.3)
The crash APPEARS to be related to the framebuffer -there's no oops etc, just
a complete lockup.
Sometimes it will happen on boot, locking after
drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c
mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice
Other times, when it does get past this and boots fully, I can 100%
reproducably kill it by doing something that would cause text to scroll in
the fb.
ie cat longfile
where the file is longer than the number of lines displayable on the console
without scrolling.
Alternatively, ls -R / (same reason), or even make menuconfig.
From within X, I can do all these things fine.
If anyone has any ideas, or any information they'd like to help me debug this,
I'd be very interested.
Cheers,
David
