lirc_mceusb crash in 2.6.35-14.19~lucid1

[PhracturedBlue]

I tried using the 2.6.25 kernel from the PPA for lucid (I needed a newer kernel to change some raid properties hat needs 2.6.34 or newer)

I realize this is an unsupported kernel, but I thought I'd report the bug anyway.
Ubuntu 10.04
package: linux-image-2.6.35-14-generic
version: 2.6.35-14.19~lucid1

Issue: lirc_mceusb LIRC module crashes on load:

I moved back to the production kernel after getting my raid things in order, but will be happy to test should it be needed

Hi Geoffrey,

Please be sure to confirm this issue exists with the latest development release of Ubuntu. ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily/current/ . If the issue remains, please run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux 615049

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.

The maverick daily builds don't include a live-cd, and I can't install on my existing partiton, so I can' test maverick as requested. Running apport-collect results in apport hanging forever while collecting info. As such, I haveincluded a full dmesg.

The bug does not happen when using 2.6.35 mailine, however, LIRC is also not available if using mainline.

[Fudgie (mr-fudgie)]

I get the same oops, and the 'modprobe lirc_mceusb' command just hangs until I reboot.

Geoffrey hausheer, thank you for taking the time to report this bug and trying to help make Ubuntu better. However, the Ubuntu Kernel PPA is not a software package provided by the official Ubuntu repositories. Because of this the Ubuntu project can not support or fix your particular bug. Please report this bug to the provider of the software package. Thanks!
