Public bug reported: I'm running some java tests which rely on the RXTX package for RS-232 serial communication. During the running of the tests I find that my COM port gets reset, for what would seem, no apparent reason. I recently switched to the server kernel so as to access the full 4GB of RAM, but I don't think this has anything to do with it as I experienced the same com port problem with the ordinary desktop kernel (for intrepid).
I see this in the system logs, which doesn't look so good to me: [124187.784129] WARNING: at /build/buildd/linux-2.6.27/drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c:311 serial_write+0xa4/0xb0 [usbserial]() [124187.784131] Modules linked in: usbhid hid ppp_deflate zlib_deflate bsd_comp ppp_async crc_ccitt ppp_generic slhc option usb_storage libusual pl2303 usbserial i915 drm binfmt_misc rfcomm bridge stp bnep sco l2cap bluetooth ppdev ipv6 acpi_cpufreq cpufreq_userspace cpufreq_ondemand cpufreq_stats cpufreq_conservative freq_table cpufreq_powersave sbs sbshc pci_slot af_packet iptable_filter ip_tables x_tables sbp2 lp joydev arc4 ecb crypto_blkcipher evdev pcspkr serio_raw iwlagn iwlcore psmouse rfkill led_class mac80211 cfg80211 snd_hda_intel parport_pc parport snd_pcm_oss snd_mixer_oss snd_pcm snd_seq_dummy snd_seq_oss snd_seq_midi snd_rawmidi tpm_infineon tpm tpm_bios snd_seq_midi_event container snd_seq snd_timer snd_seq_device video output snd battery wmi ac shpchp pci_hotplug soundcore button intel_agp agpgart snd_page_alloc ext3 jbd mbcache sr_mod sd_mod cdrom crc_t10dif sg ahci tg3 ohci1394 libphy libata ieee1394 scsi_mod dock ehci_hcd uhci_hcd usbcore thermal processor fan fbcon tileblit font bitblit softcursor fuse [124187.784201] Pid: 9, comm: events/0 Tainted: G W 2.6.27-14-server #1 [124187.784203] [<c038c3eb>] ? printk+0x1d/0x22 [124187.784206] [<c0139619>] warn_on_slowpath+0x59/0x90 [124187.784212] [<c014bb66>] ? __queue_work+0x36/0x50 [124187.784215] [<c014bc0a>] ? queue_work_on+0x4a/0x60 [124187.784219] [<c014bd1a>] ? queue_work+0x1a/0x20 [124187.784222] [<c014bd34>] ? schedule_work+0x14/0x20 [124187.784225] [<f9222d82>] ? usb_serial_port_softint+0x12/0x20 [usbserial] [124187.784231] [<f917941f>] ? pl2303_send+0xbf/0x1c0 [pl2303] [124187.784236] [<f91796e4>] ? pl2303_buf_put+0x14/0xe0 [pl2303] [124187.784240] [<f917980a>] ? pl2303_write+0x5a/0xa0 [pl2303] [124187.784244] [<c012c238>] ? enqueue_entity+0xd8/0x2f0 [124187.784250] [<f9222714>] serial_write+0xa4/0xb0 [usbserial] [124187.784255] [<c0256c55>] ? __next_cpu+0x15/0x30 [124187.784260] [<c02b0f73>] tty_put_char+0x33/0x40 [124187.784263] [<c02b550e>] echo_char+0x5e/0x80 [124187.784266] [<c02b6cbf>] n_tty_receive_char+0x11f/0x6f0 [124187.784269] [<c02b7524>] n_tty_receive_buf+0x294/0x530 [124187.784272] [<c025b3dd>] ? rb_erase+0xcd/0x150 [124187.784275] [<c012a75a>] ? __dequeue_entity+0x2a/0xb0 [124187.784279] [<c012a906>] ? set_next_entity+0x126/0x160 [124187.784283] [<c0108dc6>] ? __switch_to+0xa6/0x160 [124187.784286] [<c02b33f0>] ? flush_to_ldisc+0x0/0x1c0 [124187.784290] [<c02b902b>] ? tty_ldisc_try+0x3b/0x50 [124187.784293] [<c02b34e5>] flush_to_ldisc+0xf5/0x1c0 [124187.784296] [<c02b33f0>] ? flush_to_ldisc+0x0/0x1c0 [124187.784299] [<c014b325>] run_workqueue+0x95/0x160 [124187.784302] [<c014f2d6>] ? finish_wait+0x16/0x70 [124187.784306] [<c014b5c8>] worker_thread+0x88/0xf0 [124187.784309] [<c014f180>] ? autoremove_wake_function+0x0/0x50 [124187.784312] [<c014b540>] ? worker_thread+0x0/0xf0 [124187.784316] [<c014ee01>] kthread+0x41/0x80 [124187.784318] [<c014edc0>] ? kthread+0x0/0x80 [124187.784321] [<c010abe7>] kernel_thread_helper+0x7/0x10 [124187.784324] ======================= [124187.784326] ---[ end trace afca9dee5dd2a357 ]--- [124703.504295] hub 5-0:1.0: port 2 disabled by hub (EMI?), re-enabling...
