Subject[OOPS] reading /proc/hermes/eth1/recs causes an oops in 2.5.69
Hello all,

I'm currently running Red Hat linux 8.0 on my Inspiron 8100 laptop. Last
night, I decided to check out a recent 2.5 kernel. While wandering around
in the /proc filesystem, I came across /proc/hermes/eth1/recs. From what I
had seen in under 2.4.21-pre4, it should have just given me a whole bunch of
interesting information about my wireless card. Instead, just attempting to
read the file caused an oops. After the initial oops, the machine wasn't
completely unresponsive, I could still press the keyboard one more time to
generate yet another oops, but then the machine would be completely
unresponsive and had to be power cycled.

Before I post the oops, the kernel running at the time was 2.5.69. I have
one builtin ethernet interface, which comes up as eth0, and one pcmcia
wireless card that comes up as eth1. This card uses the orinoco_cs driver.

Here are the contents of /proc/modules just before the oops:

binfmt_misc 11016 0 - Live 0xd48d6000
autofs4 16256 0 - Live 0xd493a000

usbcore 108884 2 hid, Live 0xd4831000
rtc 13220 0 - Live 0xd480c000

And finally, here is the result of piping the oops text through ksymoops:

<0>Kernel panic: Fatal exception in interrupt

This particular kernel didn't have /proc/ksyms, so I couldn't use that in
this output. If any information is needed, let me know. I'm not on the
mailing list, so please cc me on any replies. (I'm also cc'ing this to
David Gibson as well.)

Thank you very much.

Sincerely,

John Guthrie
