I'm sorry that I can't progress this any further than what I describe above.. Phil =--=
Is there a way to see a call backtrace?
Still seeing this stuff I've made a better attempt at reporting it here http://ftp.uk.linux.org/pub/linux/redhat/alpha/Decodeing-oops-on-alpha.howto.html Phil =--=
Zaitcev, did any of the above help at all?
My love with Dmitry's driver is not very smooth, more the pity.
A few questions: 1. May we have some printk's inserted into ibmcam_model2_setup and such places to pinpoint the problem? 2. Did LED come on before the crash? 3. What does ra register point?
1. I'll respond in a moment or two when I get a chance to rebuild,.. 2. the LED does come on, the kernel oops's and the LED stays on thereafter 3. RA = return address, ie where do I jump back to after I branch
Before we start with divide and conquer by printks, please re-run the whole shebang with "debug=3" for ibmcam. This also turns debugging in usbvideo, which is I am after. Another thing - I would appreciate you switching to a more current kernel. Remember the discrepancy in pci_pool_alloc that we identified online.
None of the 2.4.5 kernels currently compile for the alpha,.. I'm kinda stuck with this one for the moment,... usb.c: registered new driver ibmcam ibmcam.c: ibmcam_probe(fffffc0000a9dd00,0.) ibmcam.c: IBM USB camera found (model 3, rev. 0x0301) ibmcam.c: Number of alternate settings=2. ibmcam.c: Active setting=1. maxPS=1022. ibmcam.c: IBM camera: using 320x240 usbvideo.c: usbvideo_RegisterVideoDevice: iface=0. endpoint=$81 paletteBits=$00000010 usbvideo.c: usbvideo_RegisterVideoDevice: video_register_device() successful usbvideo.c: ibmcam on /dev/video0: canvas=320x240 videosize=320x240 Executing vidcat and the extra lines are.... ------------------------------ usbvideo.c: usbvideo_v4l_open($fffffc001163d1f8,$00000000 usbvideo.c: usbvideo_StartDataPump($fffffc001163d1f8) ibmcam.c: ibmcam_change_lighting_conditions: Set lighting to 1.

Sorry about this, Bryce. I am kinda too busy, so moving this out of the way with WONTFIX.
