irda-utils also locks up the kernel here when running the init script. so far i've figured out the following: *) the infrared device is on serial port /dev/ttyS1 (irq 3, ioports 0x2f8-0x2ff) *) it's caused by irattach. running "irattach /dev/ttyS1 -s" manually also locks up the kernel *) i have an SMsC LPC47N217 SuperIO controller, which, if i'm correct, should work with the smsc-ircc2 module, but loading this module fails with the error: [code]FATAL: Error inserting smsc_ircc2 (/lib/modules/2.6.17-8-generic/kernel/drivers/net/irda/smsc-ircc2.ko): No such device[/code] *) the device id from /sys/devices/pnp0/00:07/id is PNP0510 *) /sys/devices/pnp0/00:07/resources claims the device is disabled. echoing 'enable' in it doesn't do anything, echoing 'activate' in it gives the following error: [code]-su: echo: write error: Input/output error[/code]
I'm now running ubuntu edgy, but this same issue was already around in dapper too. -- Starting irda-utils lock up the kernel. https://launchpad.net/bugs/43112 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
