After the latest hal.o fake compile changes (at least i think its caused by this change) i'm getting a kernel oops on modprobing' ath_pci:

Change History

04/19/06 22:04:53 changed by dyqith

which revision ? there's been at least 2 changes in the last half hour.

04/19/06 22:10:52 changed by anonymous

r1514.

04/19/06 22:16:03 changed by anonymous

tested this with r1518, same result. :(

04/19/06 22:35:41 changed by dyqith

Wondering if you can give a little history of your system ?

kernel ver, card info, cpu info, linux distro

04/19/06 22:57:51 changed by svens

Hrmpf. I should be logged in when writing bug report. Well, the system i get this oops is an IBM Thinkpad T42, with an ALPS Atheros card. I'm running a vanilla 2.6.16 kernel right now on a debian unstable distro. I have an idea whats happening: the build process builds the hal.c source file, but doesn't copy the hal.obj over the resulting hal.o. don't ask me why, but thats the only explanation i've got why my ath_hal.ko is only about ~10K...

Maybe we should roll svn back to r1513 ? That seems to have no trouble in compiling.

04/20/06 10:16:37 changed by mrenzmann

I'd say: proski should be consulted, too. He's the one who did the changes in question, maybe he has some ideas what went wrong here.

04/20/06 20:24:05 changed by dyqith

Okay, looks like its crashing for me too, it worked yesterday, but now modprobe'ing ath_pci is crashing with a similar kernel panic as above. However, it doesn't hang the system.

04/21/06 08:21:51 changed by svens

Looks to me like the change in r1503 is causing the trouble, will test later.

Please test revision 1521.

1521 works ok here, thanks proski. I'm closing thiis ticket, seems to be fixed.
