A reboot must be done to make the system usable again. This bug seems to be fixed in at least 2.6.32-rc6-git3 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.31.5-127 PAE How reproducible: 100% of the time Steps to Reproduce: 1) rm -rf /var/cache/yum/* 2) yum -y update Obtaining the compressed repo data is sufficient to trigger the oops. Actual results: yum -y update stalls and networking stops working. Expected results: I would expect the yum -y update to complete successfully. Additional info: Oops is attached.

Maybe it's a Heizenbug? Could you try your 2.6.31.6 build using the stock F12-PAE config (i.e. w/o turning-on ath9k debugging)?

So far that we know if this only affected some Aspires (if the sky2 issue was with an Aspire as well). I cannot be too sure that that same patch fixed the issue but it would be easy to test by just reverting it. Matthew, if you have spare time can you try reverting this patch to see if it did indeed fix the issue: Author: Yinghai Lu <ying...@kernel.org> pci: increase alignment to make more space for hidden code So far the other issue refer to: ath9k load issue: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14402 iwlagn + sky combo issues: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13940 These issues are loading related though so it would be surprising to see an issue not related to that. The patch in question would change the pci memory address start. Only thing that I can think of between 2.6.31.5 and 2.6.31.6 but perhaps this wasn't it, only testing would tell.

To reproduce it, I do the same as you, booting linux on kernel 2.6.31.6-134.fc12.i686, launching a web application (like yum or firefox) and right after that, it stops working, and I can't shutdown properly. I have this wifi card : 03:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR928X Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01) Subsystem: Foxconn International, Inc. Device e01f Kernel driver in use: ath9k Kernel modules: ath9k on an ACER laptop, and the same message as you, at the end of your attachment (the kernel oops about null pointer dereferencing and the same last sysfs used).
