Testing on my other machine (already on f32) did not show the above
messages.
However, being a 2009 vintage, makes the hware less sophisticated, and
maybe the newer hware
is too smart for its own good?
10+ years is enough to find and fix all the bugs, especially if you were
lucky enough to catch
the first use of a chip that became popular. OTOH, if you happen to catch
the last machine
that used a problematic chipset, new kernels may not even have the
drivers. Also, if you
have a problem running linux on older hardware, there will be discussions
of the issue. A
search for the problem with the make and model of the PC and USB ID of the
prime suspect
often provides useful information and may tell you which kernel version has
the fix.
[...]
I suggest upgrading the system because there is likely a kernel fix
for
the initial trigger that caused the whole problem. And possibly a dvb fix
as well to avoid the oops. I second the suggestion of testing with a live
boot, but if you're going to upgrade anyway, might as well just do that.
Agreed, my sentiment as well.
Still, as this is repeatable, I wonder if running a debug kernel
(kernel-debug) will reveal more?
Google may tell you someone else has already done the heavy lifting, and
which kernel has the
fix.
