Re: [Spca50x-devs] Z-Star 305b causes system lockup

[David Stone <polygons@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for your reply,

I wasn't sure where to find the docs you mentioned but I downloaded
ksymoops and looked at the man page. It seem like it would be very hard
for me to use since I would have to copy all the information that the
kernel give me onto paper in order to run ksymoops. So I've been trying
to use kdb to get the information you want, but I really don't know how
to use it either. But I've gotten some information from it that might be
useful. Here's a few interesting lines that were in dmesg:
spca5xx.c: 0[utpict_do_tasklet:2037] Tasklet ask spca decoder hdr width
320 hdr height 240 method 1
spca5xx.c: [outpict_do_tasklet:2045] Decode Frame state return 3
-----------------------[ cut here]--------------------
Kernel bug at kernel (softirq.c:266)
invalid opcode: 0000 [#1]

There doesn't seem to be any way to wright anything to disk using kdb so
it's hard to send you information. If you are familiar with kdb and
could tell me what information you need out of it that would be helpful.

Thanks,
Dave
