Hi all,
My system is a PPC running kernel 2.6.14.7 .
My application uses interrupts to collect bytes from the uart .
And I have to uarts running in parallel which signal to the same interrupt line . When I run only one uart at a time the system works fine . But when the 2 run symultaniously the system crashes as follows :

" kernel BUG in preempt_schedule_irq at kernel/sched.c:3114!

Does anyone have an idea why this is happening and what am I doing wrong ?
