Howdy, and thank you for helping to improve Ubuntu and lirc support by opening this ticket. I believe kernel oops belong in the kernel project, so I'm forwarding it there.

Unknown impact at this point, so this may need to be lowered to medium importantance, but I see a potential for this to be a widespread problem - hence the "high" for now.

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

It seems that this is fixed in cvs of lirc:

For me, lirc_atiusb gives the same error

I get a kernel oops with lirc_mceusb as well as soon as the receiver receives the first IR signal. The oops is not logged anywhere and the system becomes completely unresponsive after the OOPS. I cannot SSH into the system either, forcing me to hard reset the machine.

Linux mediabox 2.6.35-15-server #21-Ubuntu SMP Wed Aug 11 18:23:50 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Note that I have no lirc package installed on this system, so this is indeed entirely a kernel problem.

'modprobe lirc_mceusb' seems to be working just fine for me:

Today's update (kernel and liblircclient0) did not help.

Here is some more info:

1/ Once the machine is booted, pluging in the USB receiver gives these kernel messages:

2/ Sending an IR signal to the receiver with the remote gets me a OOPS from which the system does not recover. See picture attached.

3/ Once rebooted via a hard reset, unplugging the receiver gives the following kernel error message:
