Oops in kernel 2.4.6-ac2 using ftl device

Oops in kernel 2.4.6-ac2 using ftl device

[Roel Teuwen]

Hello,

When mounting a pcmcia flash card I encountered the following (decoded)
oops :

ksymoops 2.3.4 on i586 2.4.6-ac2.  Options used
     -V (default)
     -k /proc/ksyms (default)
     -l /proc/modules (default)
     -o /lib/modules/2.4.6-ac2/ (default)
     -m /boot/System.map (specified)

I haven't had any time yet to try newer kernels.

Kind regards,
