See posting at http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?p=904532#post904532 I don't know if it matters but I have Award BIOS and Nvidia Gforce2 for a chipset. If any of this helps my SMOLT profile is here http://smolt.fedoraproject.org/show_all?UUID=56dd1485-b8a4-4da9-ac47-dae91bdcf7af
Just keeps resetting over and over.

but if I run modprobe -r ehci_hcd dmesg shows: usb usb3: USB disconnect, address 1 usb 3-5: USB disconnect, address 3 ehci_hcd 0000:00:02.2: USB bus 3 deregistered ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:00:02.2 disabled usb 1-3: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 3 usb 1-3: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice scsi5 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices usb-storage: device found at 3 usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning usb-storage: device scan complete scsi 5:0:0:0: Direct-Access SanDisk Cruzer Mini 0.2 PQ: 0 ANSI: 2 sd 5:0:0:0: [sdc] 2001888 512-byte hardware sectors (1025 MB) sd 5:0:0:0: [sdc] Write Protect is off sd 5:0:0:0: [sdc] Mode Sense: 03 00 00 00 sd 5:0:0:0: [sdc] Assuming drive cache: write through sd 5:0:0:0: [sdc] 2001888 512-byte hardware sectors (1025 MB) sd 5:0:0:0: [sdc] Write Protect is off sd 5:0:0:0: [sdc] Mode Sense: 03 00 00 00 sd 5:0:0:0: [sdc] Assuming drive cache: write through sdc: sdc1 sd 5:0:0:0: [sdc] Attached SCSI removable disk sd 5:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg4 type 0 SELinux: initialized (dev sdc1, type vfat), uses genfs_contexts So if I understand the purpose of the modprobe command correctly, running that command is forcing the kernel module to reload. Which means there is a problem with a Kernel module auto-loading? Is there a log file that would show that? The screwy thing is I have a printer in the USB port next to it and I have no problems with it. I also have a Joystick in the USB port below it and no problems there either. Yes I have tried unplugging both to see if the changes anything, no it doesn't. I have even plugged the thumb-drive into a Windows XP machine and left it for 3 days and never lost the device. Ideas?
I was debugging evolution and had a kernel failure. Where would I grab those log files from?

I don't think this crash has anything to do with the device not liking the 480mbit/s mode (which is the original issue was). It's something in the VM... When exec() tried to discard the old image, the old image contained inwritten dirty data. This sounds a normal use case to me, but this time the VM subsystem collapsed trying to discard the dirty pages.

Okay, let me check the other two messages files, I remember some where in there I got a message about an invalid pointer. I have been having the system lock up on me since I moved to kernel-2.6.23.1-21.fc7, along with the USB problem, and there have been a lot of complaints about system freezes with Fedora 8 and that kernel version on the forums. Just trying to find out if when I move to F8 if that problem still exists or not and if I will have to fight it again. Thanks for your patience.
Created attachment 284891 [details] Shows pointer error In this file it shows a pointer error and in the original file (/var/log/messages.3) it shows the line: usb 3-5: "new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address" 137 times definitely a problem.
Okay without the thumbdrive in and after running FSCK and forcing SELinux to relablel the system I still get: Dec 18 17:58:59 timmieland kernel: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000f Dec 18 17:58:59 timmieland kernel: printing eip: Dec 18 17:58:59 timmieland kernel: c04f27e5 Dec 18 17:58:59 timmieland kernel: *pde = 1e227067 Dec 18 17:58:59 timmieland kernel: *pte = 00000000 Dec 18 17:58:59 timmieland kernel: Oops: 0000 [#1] Dec 18 17:58:59 timmieland kernel: SMP Dec 18 17:58:59 timmieland kernel: Modules linked in: lp ppdev autofs4 hidp rfcomm l2cap bluetooth vmnet(P)(U) vmmon(P)(U) sunrpc ppp_synctty ppp_async crc_ccitt ppp_generic slhc nf_conntrack_ftp nf_conntrack_netbios_ns nf_conntrack_ipv4 xt_state nf_conntrack nfnetlink ipt_REJECT iptable_filter ip_tables xt_tcpudp ip6t_REJECT ip6table_filter ip6_tables x_tables ib_iser rdma_cm ib_cm iw_cm ib_sa ib_mad ib_core ib_addr iscsi_tcp libiscsi scsi_transport_iscsi dm_multipath video output sbs battery ac ipv6 snd_usb_audio snd_usb_lib snd_emu10k1_synth snd_intel8x0 snd_seq_dummy snd_emux_synth snd_seq_virmidi snd_seq_midi_emul snd_emu10k1 snd_seq_oss snd_rawmidi parport_pc snd_seq_midi_event nvidia(P)(U) snd_ac97_codec 3c59x snd_seq parport emu10k1_gp ac97_bus snd_util_mem mii snd_seq_device gameport snd_hwdep snd_pcm_oss floppy snd_mixer_oss snd_pcm pcspkr snd_timer button snd i2c_nforce2 usblp soundcore forcedeth i2c_core snd_page_alloc joydev sg sr_mod cdrom dm_snapshot dm_zero dm_mirror dm_mod usb_storage sata_nv ata_generic pata_amd libata sd_mod scsi_mod ext3 jbd mbcache ehci_hcd ohci_hcd uhci_hcd Dec 18 17:58:59 timmieland kernel: CPU: 0 Dec 18 17:58:59 timmieland kernel: EIP: 0060:[<c04f27e5>] Tainted: P VLI Dec 18 17:58:59 timmieland kernel: EFLAGS: 00010046 (2.6.23.8-34.fc7 #1) Dec 18 17:58:59 timmieland kernel: EIP is at radix_tree_gang_lookup+0xa7/0x134 Dec 18 17:58:59 timmieland kernel: eax: ffffffff ebx: 0000000f ecx: 000000ee edx: 00000000 Dec 18 17:58:59 timmieland kernel: esi: 00000000 edi: fffffffe ebp: 0a050122 esp: f7fd7e38 Dec 18 17:58:59 timmieland kernel: ds: 007b es: 007b fs: 00d8 gs: 0000 ss: 0068 Dec 18 17:58:59 timmieland kernel: Process kswapd0 (pid: 244, ti=f7fd7000 task=c1927840 task.ti=f7fd7000) Dec 18 17:58:59 timmieland kernel: Stack: 00000000 f7fd7ea8 10000000 00000000 ffffffee 0000000e f7fd7ea8 0000000e Dec 18 17:58:59 timmieland kernel: 00000000 e360f900 f7fd7ea8 c04644df 0000000e 00000000 f7fd7ea0 00000000 Dec 18 17:58:59 timmieland kernel: e360f900 c04686bc f7fd7ea8 e360f858 00000000 c0468a89 0000000e 00fd7e90 Dec 18 17:58:59 timmieland kernel: Call Trace: Dec 18 17:58:59 timmieland kernel: [<c04644df>] find_get_pages+0x28/0x62 Dec 18 17:58:59 timmieland kernel: [<c04686bc>] pagevec_lookup+0x1c/0x22 Dec 18 17:58:59 timmieland kernel: [<c0468a89>] __invalidate_mapping_pages+0xd8/0xec Dec 18 17:58:59 timmieland kernel: [<c0469d19>] shrink_inactive_list+0x1fe/0x2d8 Dec 18 17:58:59 timmieland kernel: [<c0468aac>] invalidate_mapping_pages+0xf/0x11 Dec 18 17:58:59 timmieland kernel: [<c0491989>] shrink_icache_memory+0xcc/0x1a0 Dec 18 17:58:59 timmieland kernel: [<c0469fb9>] shrink_slab+0xd5/0x134 Dec 18 17:58:59 timmieland kernel: [<c046a315>] kswapd+0x2a7/0x40a Dec 18 17:58:59 timmieland kernel: [<c043d3d1>] autoremove_wake_function+0x0/0x35 Dec 18 17:58:59 timmieland kernel: [<c046a06e>] kswapd+0x0/0x40a Dec 18 17:58:59 timmieland kernel: [<c043d30a>] kthread+0x38/0x5e Dec 18 17:58:59 timmieland kernel: [<c043d2d2>] kthread+0x0/0x5e Dec 18 17:58:59 timmieland kernel: [<c0405dbb>] kernel_thread_helper+0x7/0x10 Dec 18 17:58:59 timmieland kernel: ======================= Dec 18 17:58:59 timmieland kernel: Code: 8b 7d 00 85 ff 0f 84 81 00 00 00 6b c7 06 83 e8 06 89 44 24 10 89 e8 eb 43 8a 4c 24 10 89 f2 d3 ea 83 e2 3f 89 14 24 8d 5c 90 10 <8b> 03 85 c0 75 25 8a 4c 24 10 ba 01 00 00 00 d3 e2 89 d0 f7 d8 Dec 18 17:58:59 timmieland kernel: EIP: [<c04f27e5>] radix_tree_gang_lookup+0xa7/0x134 SS:ESP 0068:f7fd7e38 Dec 18 18:07:35 timmieland syslog-ng[2236]: Log statistics;

Honestly, when I see VM (e.g. page management) throwing up like this, I reach for memtest86.
Did clean install of Fedora 8 with no VM Ware System freeze is gone. Thumb Drive still isn't read, suspect problem with device detection filing a bug with different component.
