Hi, I'm trying to get connect my Linux laptop to the network at my office, and tried to compile the kernel, but dmesg shows this suspicious looking gibberish:
<dmesg> Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address c68205e7 current->tss.cr3 = 056e1000, %cr3 = 056e1000 *pde = 0009e067 *pte = 00000000 Oops: 0000 CPU: 0 EIP: 0010:[<068205e7>] EFLAGS: 00010246 eax: 00000000 ebx: 00000100 ecx: 0682056c edx: 00000000 esi: 056dff24 edi: 0000002b ebp: 05de4318 esp: 059d9ff8 ds: 0018 es: 0018 fs: 002b gs: 002b ss: 0018 Process insmod (pid: 39, process nr: 15, stackpage=059d9000) Stack: 0682056c 059d4018 Call Trace: [<0682056c>] Code: <1>Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address c68205e7 current->tss.cr3 = 056e1000, %cr3 = 056e1000 *pde = 0009e067 *pte = 00000000 Oops: 0000 CPU: 0 EIP: 0010:[<0010adf8>] EFLAGS: 00010202 eax: 00000010 ebx: 059d4018 ecx: 068205e7 edx: 0000ea60 esi: 00000000 edi: 059da000 ebp: 059d9fbc esp: 059d9f60 ds: 0018 es: 0018 fs: 0010 gs: 002b ss: 0018 Process insmod (pid: 39, process nr: 15, stackpage=059d9000) Stack: 0000002b 00000000 00020000 059d9fbc 059fb018 06800000 07000000 06800000 059f0018 00111a76 001a1859 059d9fbc 00000000 001117a8 056dff24 0000002b 05de4318 0826dd98 05f58c18 00000000 0010aa60 059d9fbc 00000000 00000100 Call Trace: [<06800000>] [<07000000>] [<06800000>] [<00111a76>] [<001117a8>] [<0010aa60>] [<0682056c>] [<068205e7>] [<0682056c>] Code: 64 8a 04 0e 0f a1 88 c2 81 e2 ff 00 00 00 89 54 24 10 52 68 </dmesg> This is repeated a couple of times, probably with some variations, although I haven't examined it thoroughly. Does anyone know what is going on and does it have anything to do with me not getting the networking card to work? The card is a "PC Card Series Product" (that's the only thing I can see that comes close to a manufacturers name, although it says "Target PCMCIA" on card itself), and the cardbus is "Texas Instrument PCI-1225 CardBus" Any help is appreciated. regards, Guðmundur
