Hi,
I found that Linux 2.4.x got locking with apm.o and yenta_socket.o since yenta driver was there. But, someone has reported another apm.o related locking. I don't know about why this problem causes and who works for this.
So, I want more infomations, i.e. situation, position, timing and so on. Tell me these if you know.
I know a locking situation: * apm.o and yenta_socket.o are loaded and scan devices. * `cat /proc/apm` or something that causes calling apm_bios_call(). -> hardware locking. Nothing except turn off with the power switch.
Any infos welcome. Thanks.
