Very Computer

 Recall,

This is about ethernet interfaces not initialising (and hence not working)
with 2.4.19-rc3 (they do initialise and work with 2.4.19-rc2).

As suggested, I have, for all certainty, repatched linux-2.4.18.tar.gz with patch-2.4.19-rc3.gz
and rebuilt from a 'mrproper' /usr/src/linux, but the issue remains.

This time I ran ksymoops on the 2.4.19-rc3 system so no more mismatches

When doing 'lsmod' one sees the modules eepro100 and 3c59x as 'initialising'
and one cannot 'rmmod' them because they are 'busy'.

PS: I am making vmlinux-es for many many years now on several platforms
and this issue, I must admit, is one of the most surprising ones, after
a fresh kernel reboot.

 In general I use latest software (modutils, gcc etc...)

Thanks for your valuable time

        here is the decoded oops

 apparently the oops is in pci_register_driver

==========================================================================================
ksymoops 2.4.4 on i686 2.4.19-rc3.  Options used
     -V (default)
     -k /proc/ksyms (default)
     -l /proc/modules (default)
     -o /lib/modules/2.4.19-rc3/ (default)
     -m /boot/System.map-2.4.19-rc3 (default)

Warning: You did not tell me where to find symbol information.  I will
assume that the log matches the kernel and modules that are running
right now and I'll use the default options above for symbol resolution.
If the current kernel and/or modules do not match the log, you can get
more accurate output by telling me the kernel version and where to find
map, modules, ksyms etc.  ksymoops -h explains the options.

Could you please back out the changes until the problem
goes away?

This script which someone wrote will break the diff into
standalone chunks.   Suggest you start with the patch
against drivers/pci/names.c.

I apologise for the delay, I have a lot of work recently ...

Regarding the idea to troubleshoot the 2.4.19-rc2 -> 2.4.19-rc3
changes step by step : Of course that should reveal the culprit but,
unfortunately, the only (1 out of 3) host on which I see the issue
happens to be my main headless server in the wiring closet which I
cannot reboot so often.

It runs 2.4.18 again now.

Someone else thought this might be bacause of changes in hotplug so I
can try to turn off CONFIG_HOTPLUG (but I do need CONFIG_HOTPLUG).

Still, I will do my best to investigate further, and, when 2.4.19 new
versions come out (rc or not) I will always test again.

PS: I see gcc 3.1.1 is on the cygnus ftp server so next time I might
try that compiler as well.

Have a great weekend and thanks all

Hi,

Well, it supports a few more different type diffs. It might of course be
buggy, but I didn't recheck it for years. It just works.

The new date header is just because I copied it into a new file, without
much reading, though.

 Dear kernel crew,

I have recompiled 2.4.19-rc3 on 3 machines with gcc 3.1.1 and
basically there is no better news. Two machines still work fine and
one still does not recognise any PCI card (indeed, the PCI SCSI
interface module (which currently has nothing attached) is, just like
the 2 PCI eth interfaces, also stuck in 'initialising').

I have saved both 'dmesg' outputs just after reboot.

here is the output of
 diff dmesg-2.4.18 dmesg-2.4.19-rc3

I wonder, could there be some miscalculation of memory?  Is the
missing 'machine check' of any relevance?

I personally don't see any other potential significant issue in the
diff but maybe someone else does...

Thanks for your time
