From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1) Gecko/20031114 Description of problem: When Kudzu is run on bootup to detect any new hardware, it will reliably segfault, causing a kernel panic, (attached ksymoops'd output). The problem only seems to trigger on a reboot, booting from cold appears to work with no problem. It appears to be caused by my Mitsumi USB 7-in-1 card reader (details here: http://qbik.ch/usb/devices/showdev.php?id=2223), as when the problem occurs, /proc/scsi/scsi only lists the devices attached to my Adaptec 29160 which is probed first before the USB device. If I remove kudzu from being run on boot, there doesn't appear to be a problem, all SCSI devices show up on every boot. If I try running kudzu manually, I can't get it to fail either, it runs and exits normally. I'm reporting this as a kernel bug as it shouldn't panic in any case. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.4.22-1.2179.nptl How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Reboot machine 2. Wait for kudzu to run and segfault Actual Results: Examine dmesg after boot to find kernel panic, examine /proc/scsi/scsi to confirm lack of USB SCSI devices Expected Results: Nothing obvious, /proc/scsi/scsi should show all SCSI devices Additional info:
Created attachment 99500 [details] ksymoops'd output of kernel panic
