Presumably it is a problem specific to my PDC IDE controller. In addition, I've caught another (unrelated) interruptible_sleep_on bug in msp audio for my v4l WinTV PCI card. I couldn't get the call addresses written down, but it goes something like.. interruptible_sleep_on 0xe9/0x120 default_make_function .. msp_3400c_setbass .. msp_3410d_thread .. kernel_thread_helper 0x5/0x10 I guess this is something the v4l2 maintainer needs to look at. -- Cheers, Alistair. personal: alistair()devzero!co!uk university: s0348365()sms!ed!ac!uk student: CS/AI Undergraduate contact: 7/10 Darroch Court, University of Edinburgh. -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
