nvidia oops 2.6.8-rc3-mm2

I hope its ok to post about this here, but I thought it might be a kernel bug not nvidia.

This is the oops with the new 6111 driver (it worked fine on mm1).

Thanks,
Kevin

If the problem persists without the Nvidia driver, post the results here, otherwise report them to Nvidia.

I quote from akpm's announcement:

- If some devices mysteriously stop working, try booting with pci=routeirq. If that fixes it, please send a report, Cc'ing [email protected]. See remove-unconditional-pci-acpi-irq-routing.patch

That looks like it might help your issue too since the oops talks about pci routing.

Cheers,

That fixed it.

I now have a new error in my dmesg however (thought I'd add it here incase its related):

Thanks for the help so far!
