I thought this was a particularly interesting panic. I've been getting a
few here and there with a clean 2.0.23, but this was the most interesting
so far. I haven't been able to isolate the exact cause of the panics, but
they started happening more frequently after adding and Advansys PCI SCSI
card to my system (one every 4 or 5 days). If I can get anything more
specific on that, I'll be sure to let the list know.
Oh, and for the record, here's my hardware config in case it matters with
this one: AMD 486-133, PCI 2.1, IDE (not a buggy chipset AFAIK -- UMC),
Advansys SCSI, SMC ethernet using tulip driver, plug 'n' pray Hayes modem
and Gravis Ultrasound. No known port or irq conflicts with all that.
The kernel was built mostly modular, except for the SCSI driver. Using
that as a module caused the kernel to die when trying to add devices after
scanning the SCSI bus.
As always, I can provide more info if needed, just let me know what is
needed.
