Recall,
This is about ethernet interfaces not initialising (and hence not working)
with 2.4.19-rc3 (they do initialise and work with 2.4.19-rc2).
As suggested, I have, for all certainty, repatched linux-2.4.18.tar.gz with patch-2.4.19-rc3.gz
and rebuilt from a 'mrproper' /usr/src/linux, but the issue remains.
This time I ran ksymoops on the 2.4.19-rc3 system so no more mismatches
When doing 'lsmod' one sees the modules eepro100 and 3c59x as 'initialising'
and one cannot 'rmmod' them because they are 'busy'.
PS: I am making vmlinux-es for many many years now on several platforms
and this issue, I must admit, is one of the most surprising ones, after
a fresh kernel reboot.
In general I use latest software (modutils, gcc etc...)
Thanks for your valuable time
here is the decoded oops
apparently the oops is in pci_register_driver
==========================================================================================
ksymoops 2.4.4 on i686 2.4.19-rc3. Options used
-V (default)
-k /proc/ksyms (default)
-l /proc/modules (default)
-o /lib/modules/2.4.19-rc3/ (default)
-m /boot/System.map-2.4.19-rc3 (default)
Warning: You did not tell me where to find symbol information. I will
assume that the log matches the kernel and modules that are running
right now and I'll use the default options above for symbol resolution.
If the current kernel and/or modules do not match the log, you can get
more accurate output by telling me the kernel version and where to find
map, modules, ksyms etc. ksymoops -h explains the options.
