Kernel oops in vt.c

[licaon-kter]

...or so I think: http://i.imgur.com/byFzobQ.jpg

Trying to force update the firmware from #375, hitting this thing: Hexxeh/rpi-firmware#7 again, got the oops a first time, unplugged since keys are dead and MagicSysRq does not work, no ssh, and then restarting and retrying, got this picture the second time in the same conditions. Unplugged power, restarted, rpi-update worked ok now (wtf?) and updated to #377. In the future, I'll try to always have a ssh session just in case.

Any ideas?

No ideas. You hit this:

static void con_shutdown(struct tty_struct *tty)
{
    struct vc_data *vc = tty->driver_data;
    BUG_ON(vc == NULL);

don't really see why a virtual console is being shutdown. Afraid I've not seen this and am not familiar with the code. Doesn't feel like a Pi specific bug, so could be worth searching for similar upstream bug reports.

Yeah, got reported back in March 2011, https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/3/30/732 , a fix was proposed but rejected.
