Description of problem: The kernel crashes, while receiving image data and moving the mouse. My scanner is a HP-Officejet J5785 All-in-One, which is connected to my notebooke via USB. The mouse is a common wired Logitech USB Mouse. The problem could not be reproduced after the mouse was physically removed from the system My system is an Acer Aspire 1350 Notebook with an Athlon XP 2600+ Processor and 1250MB RAM. I did not load any exotic kernel modules like ndiswrapper or vmware modules. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.24.3-12.fc8 kernel-2.6.24.3-34.fc8 Did not try older kernel versions! I haven't ever used a scanner with older versions. How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. start to scan with an usb scanner 2. wait until the scanner receives data 3. move the mouse heavily Actual results: kernel oops Expected results: Additional info: The crash could not be reproduced, after removing the usb mouse physically from my computer
correction: Steps to Reproduce: 1. start to scan with an usb scanner 2. wait until the scanner *sends* data 3. move the mouse heavily 4. Notebook freezes without any further error messages

Please try to get an oops message. Hooking up a serial console or netconsole might help. (This does not have security implications, removing from Security group). https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KernelCommonProblems#head-aacc422f26396dee978174e105c6a2b8ed962971
I agree, we really need some kind of console traceback to make progress. It's a notebook, so serial is probably right out. But netconsole usually works great.
Unfortunately I don't have a second machine to try out your suggestions for the trace information retrieval. As soon as I have the opportunity to get a traceback, I will post it here!
Boris: With netconsole, the console machine can be anywhere around the net. I can probably help you grab the oops; in case you'd want me to, just ping me on Freenode anytime.
Ok, I don't konw netconsole! I'll give it a try and will report the results in a few days!
This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 8 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-01-07. Fedora 8 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
