Hello, My HP Omnibook 5700CTX running redhat 7.0 and kernel 2.4.4-ac8 and up (I haven't verified on older kernels) hangs on boot when bringing up interface lo. Sometimes I experience an Oops at this point, one of which I have copied by hand and decoded below. When I boot a kernel without irda, the machine boots fine. Attached is my .config and the decoded oops If any more information is needed, do not hesitate to contact me. kind regards, Roel
