I got the attached oops when copying a file from a SVCD using cdfs-0.5c I mounted a SVCD using mount -t cdfs /dev/cdbrenner /cdbrenner using the cdfs driver from http://www.elis.rug.ac.be/~ronsse/cdfs/cdfs.html and then copied one of the files on the CD with cp /cdbrenner/videocd-1.mpeg ~/film.mpg after some time (copied file size is 168996864 bytes while original file size is 820799616), the oops happened. Kernels is a self compiled vanilla: Linux version 2.4.20 (root@Knoppix) (gcc version 2.95.4 20011002 (Debian prerelease)) #1 Tue Dec 31 15:23:18 CET 2002 Target filesystem is ReiserFS, but it happened with Ext3 as well (just switched to ReiserFS to make sure it isn't the Ext3 code). The CD-ROM is an ATAPI-CD-writer lobo:~# cat /proc/ide/hdc/model HL-DT-ST GCE-8320B using 'ide-scsi': lobo:~# cat /proc/scsi/scsi Attached devices: Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00 Vendor: HL-DT-ST Model: CD-RW GCE-8320B Rev: 1.04 Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 01 Lun: 00 Vendor: MT1316B Model: BDV212B Rev: 0p40 Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02 lobo:~# cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 vendor_id : AuthenticAMD cpu family : 6 model : 6 model name : AMD Athlon(TM) XP 2100+ stepping : 2 cpu MHz : 1735.486 cache size : 256 KB fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no f00f_bug : no coma_bug : no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 1 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 mmx fxsr sse syscall mmxext 3dnowext 3dnow bogomips : 3460.30 This is my current list of modules but I did only do a reboot. The 'tainted' comes from the nVidia driver, but it wasn't loaded when the oops appeared, i.e. the kernel was not tainted at this time. Also there was no ppp module etc. lobo:~# lsmod Module Size Used by Tainted: P sr_mod 12248 2 (autoclean) cdrom 29312 0 (autoclean) [sr_mod] cdfs 13860 2 (autoclean) ppp_deflate 3008 0 (autoclean) zlib_deflate 17984 0 (autoclean) [ppp_deflate] bsd_comp 4032 0 (autoclean) ppp_async 6592 1 (autoclean) af_packet 12040 2 (autoclean) agpgart 16128 3 (autoclean) NVdriver 945888 10 (autoclean) parport_pc 21384 1 (autoclean) lp 6592 0 (autoclean) parport 24992 1 (autoclean) [parport_pc lp] ppp_generic 20236 3 (autoclean) [ppp_deflate bsd_comp ppp_async] slhc 4704 0 (autoclean) [ppp_generic] 8139too 15520 1 (autoclean) mii 2320 0 (autoclean) [8139too] ehci-hcd 14656 0 (unused) cmpci 30388 1 soundcore 3684 4 [cmpci] ide-scsi 7744 1 scsi_mod 88808 2 [sr_mod ide-scsi] usbmouse 1856 0 (unused) mousedev 3904 1 keybdev 1696 0 (unused) usbkbd 2944 0 (unused) input 3424 0 [usbmouse mousedev keybdev usbkbd] usb-uhci 21796 0 (unused) usbcore 56032 1 [ehci-hcd usbmouse usbkbd usb-uhci] rtc 6012 0 (autoclean) unix 13892 106 (autoclean) Any help would be appreciated.
