How to understand the kernel oops message.

Firstly, with [LOG #1] and [LOG#2], can you say that the second Oops log below came from the same error. Which I believe is "sddrv_irq" (my SD Card interrupt handler function)


Secondly, I have tried looking for tutorials/kb's on how to read the Kernel Oops. But still can't figure out all the information on this log.
I'm just guessing the numbers like [<c01343f0>] are function addresses.
Aside from the i don't know what "PC", "LR", or any of those acronyms mean.

PC" and "LR" are CPU register name.

Hi,

Which embed are you using?

Look at Linux Kernel Newbies to get more than enough information.

PC shows the function name and a number/number in hex telling in ASM code wich instruction from the total number of instructions cause the problem, you can convert it to percent to estimate the step of the function causing the problem.
LR shows the step executed just before the PC witch causes the problem.

To find the function in the kernel source code in windows you can use the field contains to find the files where that function appear. To determinate exactly what file if there where many with this function name you can use the backtrace, where the last function is the same than PC, then LR, and going back it shows you many functions fromthe stacker, you can se all the functions calls done before the panic.
