Hello, I first thought this to be a Raspberry Pi thing, but its not. Looks like w1 driver is broken in some platform and busmaster independent way at least since kernel 3.2.x (which Raspberry Pi uses).
Here is what to do to repoduce the bug on x86: Get owfs from owfs.org and compile with w1 support or just install owserver from your favourite Linux distribution. I'm using version 2.8p15-1 from debian testing. 1. connect a 1-wire device to your computer and load the appropriate kernel module (I'm using a DS9490, so the module is ds2490.ko, but the bug also happens with other modules like w1-gpio) 2. run "owserver --error_print 2 --error_level 99 --foreground --w1" 3. run "owdir" on another terminal 4. system crashes with the following oops: --cut-- Driver for 1-wire Dallas network protocol. usbcore: registered new interface driver DS9490R w1_master_driver w1_bus_master1: Family 81 for 81.000000247ca7.41 is not registered.
