Hello

After compiling 2.4.19 (Debian kernel-source-2.4.19-1), I've had several kernel bugs. I've added the messages of two that I got in the log. The others are similar. I re-changed to 2.4.18 (Debian kernel-source-2.4.18-5) and everything works fine.

Are you able to reproduce the problem without loading the NVidia drivers? If no, you know who to complain to.

Second question, are the Zip100-drive-related errors in dmesg something unusual and thus probably related to the problem?

Quoted 2 lines

I/O error: dev 08:00, sector 0
unable to read partition table

If yes, I'd suggest you disable ppa for a while and see if it solves the problem.

Hmm.
I don't know; gonna test it...

No, they are "normal". The ppa driver complains about not having a disk in my ZIP drive

Never had such messages with mine, and I wouldn't like them. I wonder which software/settings lead to this. "Normal" errors should be prevented in a clean manner, IMHO.
