Re: Kernel oops with 2.6.21 while using cdda2wav & cooked_ioctl (x64-64)[untainted]

Hello,

I have repeated the cdda2wav run without the nvidia module and I get a very similar kernel oops. I have to hand copy the oops so it could well contain errors. If somebody can tell me exactly what information they require it would be helpful. I have run this a number of times and the call trace isn't identical. Lastest says "kernel BUG at kernel/timer.c:551! invalid opcode: 0000 [1] PREMPT KERNEL". I can run this again if necessary.

Cheers,

Ross
