Bug 152925 – sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.17-r8 orinoco airport driver hard-locks system on reboot/shutdown

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description postmodern 2006-10-26 14:44:16 UTC]

I found that when using the orinoco airport wireless driver (as module or builtin) in gentoo-sources-2.6.17-r8 my system would hard-lock when rebooting or shutting down. The hang usually occures directly after "Unmounting File Systems" step.

I found that even by just loading the airport module, not bringing the interface up and not dhcpcding onto a wireless network, it still hangs my system on reboot/shutdown.

When I tried to rmmod airport, orinoco and hermes then reboot/shutdown, I would get a verbose kernel stack dump.

Might need this...

Is this reproducible on 2.6.18 or newer?

[Comment 3 postmodern 2006-11-02 19:15:14 UTC]

I successfully observed a kernel crash and stack-dump when shutting down without ever having loaded the airport driver. Thus this bug is coming from somewhere else. I suspect this is ppc specific since I have nearly identical configurations on both my ppc/amd64 machines, yet this one hangs on shutdown.
