Which was the last known working kernel? Please post "emerge --info" output like the bug report form asks.
Latest working (without this issue) kernel I used was gentoo-sources-2.6.12-r9.

Ok, would you mind confirming this issue also exists on vanilla-sources-2.6.13?
No, vanilla kernel goes fine, from dmesg: ...... usb 3-2: new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 3 input: USB HID v1.10 Gamepad [Thrustmaster Thrustmaster analog gamepad] on usb-0000:00:10.1-1 usbcore: registered new driver usbhid drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c: v2.01:USB HID core driver mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice .....
Thats odd, since Gentoo doesn't touch anything in that area. How much RAM do you have? Do you use vesafb-tng?
I have athlon-xp 2600, 512 Mb Ram, I use vesafb-tng (issue is both with and without splash, I've checked). The issue seems to me to be in usb_hid core driver or in kref , not in the gamepad driver, but I'm unexperienced (may be wrong).
Yes, and gentoo doesn't touch any of those areas. Also, someone on the forums says that the bug does also exist on vanilla-sources-2.6.13 (which would make more sense). Can you please confirm that you are using the same .config file over both kernels and that you are booting the right vanilla kernel to test?
the kernel was linux-2.6.13 the commands I typed: cd /usr/src cp linux/.config config rm linux ln -s linux-2.6.13 linux cp config linux/.config cd linux make oldconfig (0 requests) make menuconfig (to check that was the right config file, exited without saving) mount /boot make && make modules_install make install The only difference was that I didn't re-emerged cdemu and ati-drivers modules. (do these influence usb_hid???)
I just did the same exact things I did for vanilla-2.6.13 for gentoo-2.6.13-r1, without re-emerging cdemu or ati-drivers, error occurred again.(but different output...) Can this be cause one of the gentoo-patch modify some include file (in common with usb_hid, e.g.: input.h)? dmesg from unhacked "just installed" gentoo-sources-2.6.13-r1: -------------------------------------------------------------- usb 3-2: new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 3 input: USB HID v1.10 Gamepad [Thrustmaster Thrustmaster analog gamepad] on usb-0000:00:10.1-1 usbcore: registered new driver usbhid drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c: v2.01:USB HID core driver Badness in kref_get at lib/kref.c:32 [<c02b8794>] kref_get+0x44/0x50 [<c02b7d0a>] kobject_get+0x1a/0x30 [<c032e85d>] get_bus+0x1d/0x30 [<c032e694>] bus_add_driver+0x24/0xe0 [<c03cf95e>] gameport_handle_events+0x4e/0xa0 [<c03cfac7>] gameport_thread+0x17/0x100 [<c03cfab0>] gameport_thread+0x0/0x100 [<c012d665>] kthread+0xa5/0xb0 [<c012d5c0>] kthread+0x0/0xb0 [<c0101381>] kernel_thread_helper+0x5/0x14 Badness in kref_get at lib/kref.c:32 [<c02b8794>] kref_get+0x44/0x50 [<c02b7d0a>] kobject_get+0x1a/0x30 [<c02b79b3>] kobject_init+0x33/0x50 [<c02b7b10>] kobject_register+0x20/0x70 [<c032e6c7>] bus_add_driver+0x57/0xe0 [<c03cf95e>] gameport_handle_events+0x4e/0xa0 [<c03cfac7>] gameport_thread+0x17/0x100 [<c03cfab0>] gameport_thread+0x0/0x100 [<c012d665>] kthread+0xa5/0xb0 [<c012d5c0>] kthread+0x0/0xb0 [<c0101381>] kernel_thread_helper+0x5/0x14 Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address f000e333 printing eip: c0195db6 *pde = 00000000 Oops: 0002 [#1] PREEMPT Modules linked in: CPU: 0 EIP: 0060:[<c0195db6>] Not tainted VLI EFLAGS: 00010292 (2.6.13-gentoo-r1) EIP is at create_dir+0x16/0x1c0 eax: 00000000 ebx: c05262ac ecx: 00000000 edx: f000e2c3 esi: c05262a8 edi: c0530ba8 ebp: dfcb5ef4 esp: dfcb5ebc ds: 007b es: 007b ss: 0068 Process kgameportd (pid: 844, threadinfo=dfcb4000 task=dfc2c5d0) Stack: 00000000 00000000 c0103755 00000000 c0101381 c05262a8 c05262a8 c0530ba8 00000000 c0195fcb c05262a8 00000000 c05262ac dfcb5ef4 00000000 00000000 c02b783f c05262a8 c05262a8 dfcb4000 c02b7aa6 c05262a8 c05262a8 ffffffea Call Trace: [<c0103755>] show_trace+0x35/0x90 [<c0101381>] kernel_thread_helper+0x5/0x14 [<c0195fcb>] sysfs_create_dir+0x3b/0x80 [<c02b783f>] create_dir+0x1f/0x50 [<c02b7aa6>] kobject_add+0x76/0xc0 [<c02b7b18>] kobject_register+0x28/0x70 [<c032e6c7>] bus_add_driver+0x57/0xe0 [<c03cf95e>] gameport_handle_events+0x4e/0xa0 [<c03cfac7>] gameport_thread+0x17/0x100 [<c03cfab0>] gameport_thread+0x0/0x100 [<c012d665>] kthread+0xa5/0xb0 [<c012d5c0>] kthread+0x0/0xb0 [<c0101381>] kernel_thread_helper+0x5/0x14 Code: c5 4c c0 31 c0 c3 eb 0d 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 55 57 56 53 83 ec 14 8b 44 24 2c 8b 5c 24 30 8b 6c 24 34 8b 50 08 <ff> 4a 70 0f 88 25 0d 00 00 89 df 31 c0 b9 ff ff ff ff f2 ae f7 <6>EISA: Probing bus 0 at eisa.0 wbsd: Winbond W83L51xD SD/MMC card interface driver, 1.3 wbsd: Copyright(c) Pierre Ossman oprofile: using timer interrupt. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
