Hello,the last few days I have sometimes a kernel panic and I cannot do anything in order to reboot unless unplug the laptop.Is there any way to reboot or exit from that situation?Is there any way to keep these messages from the screen for debugging? Thanks. ___________________________________________________________ Χρησιμοποιείτε Yahoo!; Βαρεθήκατε τα ενοχλητικά μηνύματα (spam); Το Yahoo!

A kernel panic is a very rare occurrence if you are using a stock kernel, and standard hardware/drivers. Usually a kernel panic is caused by a hardware failure (which is not compatible with a particular driver) or a bad, corrupted, or faulty driver-- it usually is not the kernel, but sometimes it is. What I would do is to remove (or disable) all of your peripheral hardware like-- usb devices (including, keyboards, mice, modems, flash memory, etc), external communication pluggings, etc. (you might even want to disable stuff in your bios like serial port, par port, infrared, etc) Then, see if the kernel panic goes away... my bet is that it will. Then, reconfigure (and test for a while) each peripheral.... one by one... until you find the one that is causing the problem. Then-- submit a bug report.... My sister had a similar problem... she was using a usb modem that went bad... kernel panic was the result of certain modem operations. The solution was to replace the modem. (Who knows what the driver choked on, but the culprit was actually a poorly written driver) Hope this helps. -- Kind regards, M Harris <>< -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Yes I think that the matter is a joystick:Microsoft Sidewinder Presicion 2 which is a little old.

How to configure the joystick;; You might be interested in trying the classic joystick from Saitek (Aviator AV8R) fully programmable, 8 toggle switch, 1 rotor switch, dual throttles, stick has thumb trim, three buttons, and firing button.
USB, works well with Linux (my son uses it to play GL-117 and others) and is reasonably priced. YMMV -- Kind regards, M Harris <>< -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

If the joystick driver is part of the kernel, then the culprit remains being the kernel. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

Pluggable modules extent the kernel but are not THE kernel. (1) kernel runs without module (2) kernel panics with module plugged in (3) kernel runs when module unplugged The culprit is the module... not the kernel. And all the rhetoric and flapdoodle about pluggable kernel extensions is just that. Yes, the module provides services (kernel services) through a standard kernel interface, and yes, typically only kernel developers write modules, and yes, the kernel "team" determines which modules get "into" the kernel... but all of that flap is semantics when it comes time to debug a problem. Which module is it? If I come along and write a module replacement (unsanctioned) for what-ever-device (tainting the kernel) and the silly thing runs fine its my work as a module writer and nobody knows or cares, but if the silly thing causes the kernel to panic do you think anybody in kernel land wants a bug report for it?? No way. There would be nothing wrong with THE kernel except for the simple fact that MY module caused it to panic. On the other hand if a sanctioned module is causing the kernel to panic, then I think it would be helpful to be able to isolate the failing module BEFORE giving a report to the kernel team. -- Kind regards, M Harris <>< -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

If the module comes with the kernel supplied by suse, then it is an integral part of the kernel supplied by suse, and the kernel is this the culprit. It is not a third party module installed by the user. There ire no semantics or grey zones there. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

I have made a whole new installation of opensuse downloading the torrent from the site.I have not made any update of the kernel.But when I am running the suse and make a reboot without any external hardware except for one microphone then I have a kernel panic.It seems that on every reboot I have a kernel panic.When I unplug the laptop and make a boot everything seems normal.I have to make a picture of it... ___________________________________________________________ Χρησιμοποιείτε Yahoo!; Βαρεθήκατε τα ενοχλητικά μηνύματα (spam); Το Yahoo!

If you have the expertise, do so. If not, simply report the Oops or panic to suse people and they can help the reporter get the data needed, and then perhaps they can solve it or report upstream. As to suse being third party... not completely. They have a good number of kernel developer/contributors on their staff. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

:-) Of course, they would love the user filling the bugzilla with all the info pointing to the culprit module, down to the line of code if possible. But there are all kinds of users: some may be kernel gurus, and some may be first time users, which will need a lot of help to produce the needed info. And if the bugzilla people are too busy, the latter kind will suffer long delays, I guess. And I think they are prety busy. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
