Hmm... well, the 'davidw_debug' is supposed to crap out. It's a function that calls printk, which I have been told is not really available at that point in the game. I have noticed that I get a nice 'default catch' when it hits the printk, whereas, if I move the function further down the list of things that happens, it apparently isn't reached (or at least nothing is printed), as nothing crashes. Maybe I should use a function that is guaranteed to crash? Anyway, by moving this 'bomb' function around and rebooting way too much, I narrowed down a region of code that I don't get the crash after (meaning it hasn't reached my crash function or that it is suddently ok to call it). That's what I posted... It's been quite time consuming, and not very elegant, but lacking anything else, it's all I have really (supposedly, someone is getting me a null modem cable tommorow so that I can try and connect to the serial port).
