From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.77 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.2-2 i586) Description of problem: Installing the kernel module 'ppa' on an SMP kernel locks the system completely. (driver file /lib/modules/2.2.19-6.2.7smp/scsi/ppa.o) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot an SMP kernel (I tried with all the 6.2 smp kernels: 2.2.19-6.2.7, 2.2.19-6.2.1, 2.2.17-14, 2.2.16-3) 2. 'insmod ppa' or 'modprobe ppa' 3. watch your system lock up Actual Results: System locked and no keyboard or network activity was accepted. In other words, the machine transformed itself into an expensive power consuming paperweight. Expected Results: Detect parallel port zip drive and continue operating normally. Works fine with non-SMP 6.2 kernels. Additional info: Hardware: - Supermicro P6DBE motherboard - dual Pentium III 550Mhz (Katmai) processors, 512K cache each - 256M memory - standard iomega zip100 parallel port drive
