Bug 438898

correction:

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start to scan with an usb scanner
2. wait until the scanner *sends* data
3. move the mouse heavily
4. Notebook freezes without any further error messages

These are the last messages in my /var/log/messages before the first messages of
the reboot appear:

Please try to get an oops message. Hooking up a serial console or netconsole
might help. (This does not have security implications, removing from Security
group).

I agree, we really need some kind of console traceback to make progress.
It's a notebook, so serial is probably right out. But netconsole usually
works great.

Unfortunately I don't have a second machine to try out your suggestions for the
trace information retrieval.

As soon as I have the opportunity to get a traceback, I will post it here!

Boris: With netconsole, the console machine can be anywhere around the net. I
can probably help you grab the oops; in case you'd want me to, just ping me on
Freenode anytime.

Ok, I don't konw netconsole! I'll give it a try and will report the results in a
few days!

This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 8.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '8'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here: 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Fedora 8 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-01-07. Fedora 8 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
