Hi, I had a kernel oops, so I thought I might report it. [1.] One line summary of the problem See 'messages' for the actual kernel oops messages. [2.] Full description of the problem/report: The kernel oops-ed when I pulled out an umounted 8GB USB key. This seems to be visible in the "messages" file. All the data attached, except for the "messages" has been produced after a reboot, since the system hanged. Luckily, the "messages" got saved. The system after restart should have exactly the same modules loaded as before. [3.] Keywords (i.e., modules, networking, kernel): USB, Kernel Ooops, Watchdog [4.] Kernel version (from /proc/version): $ cat /proc/version Linux version 3.2.0-1-amd64 (Debian 3.2.4-1) (waldi@debian.org) (gcc version 4.6.2 (Debian 4.6.2-12) ) #1 SMP Sun Feb 5 15:17:15 UTC 2012 It's from Debian squeeze, debian package version "linux-image-3.2.0-1-amd64" [5.] Output of Oops.. message (if applicable) with symbolic information resolved (see Documentation/oops-tracing.txt) In the "messages" text file you will find these. [6.] A small shell script or example program which triggers the problem (if possible) Unfortunately, I can't reproduce. [7.] Environment [7.1.] Software (add the output of the ver_linux script here) Attached. [7.2.] Processor information (from /proc/cpuinfo): Attached. [7.3.] Module information (from /proc/modules): Attached. [7.4.] Loaded driver and hardware information (/proc/ioports, /proc/iomem) Both attached. [7.5.] PCI information ('lspci -vvv' as root) Attached. [7.6.] SCSI information (from /proc/scsi/scsi) bash: /proc/scsi/scsi: No such file or directory I hope this helps in triaging and/or resolving this bug!
