Version: 2.6.9-1.681_FC3 I recompiled my kernel with the default .config, all I did was add an additional vendor/product id pair to the usb-ff.c file to try to get forcefeedback to work on my logitech rumblepad. But I forgot to set extra version to: 2.6.9-1.681_FC3, and did install the bzImage over vmlinuz-2.6.9-1.681_FC3, so I got a well deserved panic, because the modules in my ramdisk refused to work (I think). I say I think because I couldn't read the exact error message(s) because the kernel started emmitting: "atkbd.c: Spurious %s on %s. Some program, " "like XFree86, might be trying access hardware directly.\n" From line 369 of drivers/input/keyboard/atkbd.c, which is very annoying.
An update has been released for Fedora Core 3 (kernel-2.6.12-1.1372_FC3) which may contain a fix for your problem. Please update to this new kernel, and report whether or not it fixes your problem. If you have updated to Fedora Core 4 since this bug was opened, and the problem still occurs with the latest updates for that release, please change the version field of this bug to 'fc4'. Thank you.
I can't reproduce this anymore, so either it is fixed, or I need my old hardware (gone) to reproduce. Closing.
