Oops with minicom and USB serial with Linux 2.6.30-rc8

From: Peter Chubb
Date: Thu Jun 04 2009 - 22:28:54 EST


A new kernel this morning. Using a Prolific single-port serial
adapter to talk to a BeagleBoard. I regularly get this when I hit the
Beagle's reset button. I'm not sure I trust the traceback; I'll
rebuild with frame pointers and see if I can get a better one.
