Greetings!
Is it possible a faulty ath5k module to affect diverse parts of kernel causing different oopses to happen referencing things as different as cdrom_ioctl, find_vma, i915_gem_object_get_pages, get_vfs_caps_from_disk, warn_slowpath_common (ath5k_tasklet_rx), proc_lookup_de and _spin_lock(ext4_getattr) [soft lookup]?
The task in which such errors happen is capturing packets with kismet during the night. The errors aren't easy to create, sometimes they've already happened when I check the computer in the morning and sometimes they require stirring up the computer a bit such as starting X.
I memtested the machine during 7h and no error was detected.
I've been trying different kernels but main one is 2.6.32-21-generic, Ubuntu flavour, with linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic installed. I would use 2.6.34-rc5 vanilla if shutdown and suspend worked ;)
As such: a) is it "normal"? I thought modules were somewhat isolated these days. b) any advices for debugging? I've yet to have two oopses that are similar....
Thank you in Advance, -- Pedro
