Hello all leaf-users!
Today, i've found my bering router dead blinking only 2 led's (CapsLock & ScrollLock)
When i connected monitor i've seen lot of data (Star Trek type;-)
At the bottom of the screen was:
Code 8b 80 cc 00 00 00 85 c8 74 17 8b 40 1c 85 c0 74 10 52 8b 40
kernel panic - killing interrupt handler
in interrupt handler - not syncing
My HW is old P133 downclocked to 75MHz with 32MbRAM - booting from hdd -> NIC eth0 is 3com509 connected to my home LAN -> ADSL Sagem fast800 connected by onboard USB port
I've to mention it's not the first time (3rd precisely) but today i've time to connect monitor and check out what is going on
Kernel panics can be hard to diagnose, since they leave very little information about their causes to examine. Even with the complete screenful of stuff you actually saw (the "lots of data"), analysis requires uncommon expertise.
But ... if you are using a strandard LEAF production kernel, the odds are that your problem is not a Linux problem. Hardware problems also sometimes cause kernel panics, and I've actually seen them result from --
1. CPU overheating.
2. Bad RAM.
3. Some sort of odd interaction involving swap ... I think an unusual IDE controller that was not well supported by Linux, but I never did solve that one for sure.
Although I haven't sen it myself, the mention of the interrupt handler makes me wonder about a problem with either the NIC or the USB device.
The only likely source of the problem that is Linux related is modules, if you are using anything at all non-standard there (for example, how do you support the USB DSL interface?).
BTW, the blinking LEDs are a standard signal of a kernel panic.
