Hey, I have a problem with my network card (b44 driver). It's almost the same problem described here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=668088 I think it's a common Dell problem. I found several Dell users with the same problem. The problem occured first with the kernel update to 2.6.37 (2.6.36.x -> 2.6.37) I have taken a picture of the panic-log: http://www.pic-upload.de/view-8728232/DSC00735.jpg.html The workaround for this issue is to block the module !b44 (-> network card doesn't work anymore). Some additional information: Laptop: Dell Vostro 1500 Distro: ArchLinux x86_64 Ethernet controler: 03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4401-B0 100Base-TX (rev 02) 1. boot PC without b44 2. # modprobe b44 3. kernel panic! I am not sure, whether it is a ArchLinux problem or a general kernel problem? Thx.
