There were a few bug fixes dropped into 2.6.35.11-85.fc14, can you try that out and see if the problem still exists? Judging from your log, this is an additional issue we'll need to fix in the Fedora kernel (and possibly upstream), not one we've already fixed, but I'm not 100% certain on that. Based on your log output, it looks like perhaps a remote control keypress triggered the oops, no?

Mauro may have some additional thoughts on this one, since he's more familiar than I am with dib and dvb-usb hardware, particularly on the IR side.

Comment 2 Mauro Carvalho Chehab 2011-03-08 23:49:41 UTC
Hi Jarod,

I don't believe that this is due to IR. From those logs:

Mar  6 21:21:40 uhura kernel: [  261.335630]  [<f93963d4>] ? dib7000p_read_word+0x62/0xa7 [dib7000p]
Mar  6 21:21:40 uhura kernel: [  261.335638]  [<f9396e9b>] ? dib7000p_pid_filter_ctrl+0x25/0x76 [dib7000p]
Mar  6 21:21:40 uhura kernel: [  261.335650]  [<f9555dda>] ? stk70x0p_pid_filter_ctrl+0x16/0x18 [dvb_usb_dib0700]
Mar  6 21:21:40 uhura kernel: [  261.335658]  [<f8ab2ce1>] ? dvb_usb_ctrl_feed+0xba/0xf9 [dvb_usb]
Mar  6 21:21:40 uhura kernel: [  261.335669]  [<f8ab2d43>] ? dvb_usb_start_feed+0x12/0x14 [dvb_usb]

It seems to be more related to the PID filter and dib7000p. There's a fix for it already. It is on my next series of patches for upstream, that I should be sending
likely on Thusday).

Comment 3 HPep 2011-04-15 20:39:52 UTC
hello,
similar bug using mplayer and mencoder
lirc not installed
i can't log because i don't save, but it's say something about smp

if you want log, just say me

Comment 4 HPep 2011-04-15 20:42:03 UTC
additional:
same bug on 83 and 88 kernel

Comment 5 Jarod Wilson 2011-04-20 18:25:20 UTC
Please try the latest F15 kernel build:

http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/kernel/2.6.38.3/17.fc15/

It should be entirely possible to install and boot it on a Fedora 14 system without any other changes.

Comment 6 andreas kriegl 2011-05-28 18:10:48 UTC
This new kernel solved the problem. So this bug can be closed now.
Thank you.

Comment 7 Jarod Wilson 2011-06-01 13:53:19 UTC
Excellent, glad to hear it. Closing bug...
