Created attachment 1568290 [details] showing kernel oops on b44 module 1. Please describe the problem: b44 module causes kernel oops. This in turn makes the system unstable and unusable. Attempting to then unload the b44 module hangs at the command line. Had to blacklist b44 and add install b44 /bin/true to /etc/modprobe.d/b44.conf and rebuild initramfs for the blacklist to stick. Without blacklist system is unusable on the network. 2. What is the Version-Release number of the kernel: 5.0.14-200.fc29.x86_64 3. Did it work previously in Fedora? If so, what kernel version did the issue *first* appear? Old kernels are available for download at https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=8 : kernel-5.0.3-200.fc29 4. Can you reproduce this issue? If so, please provide the steps to reproduce the issue below: install b44 module 5. Does this problem occur with the latest Rawhide kernel? To install the Rawhide kernel, run ``sudo dnf install fedora-repos-rawhide`` followed by ``sudo dnf update --enablerepo=rawhide kernel``: yes 6. Are you running any modules that not shipped with directly Fedora's kernel?: no 7. Please attach the kernel logs. You can get the complete kernel log for a boot with ``journalctl --no-hostname -k > dmesg.txt``. If the issue occurred on a previous boot, use the journalctl ``-b`` flag.
looks like this is caused by a change in the swiotlb lib https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1844324#p1844324
