I wasn't going to test 2.0.2 as it breaks supermount, but I thought I
should ('cos of all the effort everyone puts in 'n' all) :) and here's
my first Aiee - happened when loading the sound module (I have an
SB16).
It works OK with 2.0.0, dunno about 2.0.1. I don't think this has to
do with insmod (from modules-2.0.0) as other modules load OK (e.g. ppp).

2.2 EIP lookup
Uh sorry, don't get this bit:
>From the oops I've got: EIP: 0010:[<0102cc20>]
In the output from "nm vmlinux | sort | less", do I try to find the 0010
bit, or the 0102cc20? (I know I won't necessarily get a dead match).
If it's 0010, then here's the output:
0000000c a signal
00000010 a EDI
00000010 a blocked
00000014 a EBP
If it's the long number, then I guess it's the old problem with
debugging modules - i.e. it's not known where they're going to be put - as
the address is higher than anything nm outputs.
On the other hand, if it's the long number divided by 0x10, then:
00101000 T swapper_pg_dir
00102000 T pg0
00103000 T empty_bad_page

If I have time, I will try to recompile the kernel with sound "not as

Hope this helps, cheers, :E
