USB kernel Oops report

[Flavio Villanustre]

Alan,

may be you're not the one to report this bug to... if that's the case 
please tell me who to address this email to.

With a stock kernel 2.4.9, with usbcore builtin (but with usb drivers 
modularized), I get this Oops when loading usb-uhci:

Sep  8 05:03:24 localhost kernel: hub.c: USB hub found

-------------------------------------

Of course if I compile usbcore as a module nothing of this happens and USB
works properly. OTOH, JE-uhci doesn't recognize my Saitek USB Cyborg
joystik yet, so I do need usb-uhci.

I know you could tell me that I should compile usbcore as a module an get
rid of the Oops but...

Thanks and regards,

Flavio.
