Hi,

Currently running 2.6.39-2.dmz.1-liquorix-amd64, and I was using a Huawei EC1262 CDMA EV-DO data-modem (USB), with a connection in established mode. In this state, when I pulled out the modem, I got a kernel panic and here's what I captured (manually, so slight errors may be there), based on what was displayed on screen.

Since this data-modem has a usb-storage function (set using modeswitch), I guess during the pullout operation, something related to storage-mgt went boo-boo. But then, it's a wild guess (almost -- I see lot of those scsi_mod in the stack trace).

Note that the "..." for the addresses are where I got really tired of manually copying them.

PS> I am not very familiar with kernel panics or debugging them, so if there is a better, more reliable way to capture this information, please let me know.

cheers,

Try 2.6.39.3* - there are some USB eject fixes.

Okay.
Will it be rolled into a precompiled .deb with header ?
Not very savvy with kernel compilation.

Just upgrade your packages with apt-get, you should know how to do that.
