I tried to reproduce with Telescope, and I get an oops/hang as well. The same oops is already filed as https://dev.laptop.org/ticket/11128. Using a serial console for logging may show if it is a panic/crash or a hang (like a very busy loop). If you unbricked your XO-1.75 with an other Linux system, you should be able to use minicom to capture a log in a similar way. After starting minicom, press CTRL+a,z (press CTRL+a together, release them, press 'z') to get in the minicom help/menu. Pressing 'l' will ask you for a filename, I'd use samething like xo-1.75-camera-issue.log. After pressing return, everything will be saved. Now turn on the XO and reproduce the issue. When you encounter the panic/hang again, press CTRL+l in minicom to close the logfile and exit minicom. I'll try this as well, but am still running build 882 which may be differnt than build 883 in this respect. Good luck, Niels _______________________________________________ Testing mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/testing
