[Bug 300693] Re: Thinkpad T61p hardlock flashing caps lock

[Aavery]

I think that this is a version issue with iwglan

here is my mobile wireless chip config

03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Intel Corporation Wireless WiFi Link 5100 [8086:4232]
	Subsystem: Intel Corporation Device [8086:1201]
	Control: I/O- Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- DisINTx-
	Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=fast >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- INTx-
	Latency: 0, Cache Line Size: 32 bytes
	Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 2296
	Region 0: Memory at fdffe000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=8K]
	Capabilities: <access denied>
	Kernel driver in use: iwlagn
	Kernel modules: iwlagn
However, in my instance the panic is caused by some sort of interference with the nvidia driver 177.  once I disabled it it stopped.  When I orignally installed 8.10 I was able to boot into the preview system but couldn't install direct from the CD without causing a kernel panic which started at iwlagn  tcp check.  if I can make it do the same thing again I'll try and snap a photo.  I'm guessing since this bug appears so many times in so many variants they are all related.

shows about half dozen duplicates.  but it's pretty similar to the one
we're describing.
