Re: nfs.proc.open results in a kernel string copy fault

[Michael Obster <michael at obster dot org>]

Hi Frank,

I got some more information about 2 hours ago on the serial-console.  
We got there a kernel-Oops as I already supposed. I will test a kernel  
without the fixes we have done, so that I can say it is not a problem  
of Systemtap.
Because I'm not at work tomorrow I will send this information on  
Friday, also I have to ask if there is some sensitive information in  
there before I can give more information (it is a Siemens product with  
some proprietary software parts).
The problem is also that I don't explicitly know if a patch from  
MontaVista causes the problems. But then it is work for their support  
;-).

I'll keep you updated!

Thanks for the reply.

Regards,
Michael Obster
