Hi,
I am consistently getting a kernel oops from a vanilla 2.6.21.1 kernel. It also occurs in vanilla 2.6.21, but not in 2.6.20.8. The relevant section of the kernel is networking, in particular the sis900 module (I think).
The attached file contains the oops and the information asked for on the site http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/docs/lkml/reporting-bugs.html for reporting kernel oopses. The oops fully crashes my computer and leaves the capslock and numlock leds flashing, so the oops is transcribed by hand from a photo (hopefully I haven't made a mistake, I do still have the photo if it's needed).

I'm not subscribed to the mailing list so please CC any questions/solutions to me.

Nappers.
Hi, I have the same problem here on an ASUS laptop with sis network
card. The system worked fine with kernel 2.6.21-rc7-mm2 and 2.6.20.7,
but crashes with 2.6.21.1.


Fixed by this:

Look here before reporting bugs to linux-kernel:

As far as I can tell, it's working til now ... Thanks ...
