Kernel module error on Fedora Core 3

[Craig B. <cr...@du...>]

Hi everyone,

Axel Thimm from atrpms.net has compiled a lirc kernel module for the new
Fedora Core 3 kernel (kernel-module-lirc-2.6.9-1.667-0.7.0-42.rhfc3.at - for
the Red Hat 2.6.9-1.667 kernel).  However, loading as usual I receive this
error:

lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, at major 61
Badness in sleep_on_timeout at kernel/sched.c:3022
 [<02302bc3>] sleep_on_timeout+0x5d/0x23a

I have found these references to this problem:

http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=127018

Axel points out that the kernel problem has a fix here:

http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=105198&action=view

and suggests that someone would need to modify lirc in a similar fashion to
fix this bug.

Alternatively, what else might cause this?

Craig
