It looks like the cpuidle patches are doing incorrect things with their kobject protocol.

I am seeing this with both 2.6.21-rc4-mm1 + hotfixes, and with 2.6.21-rc4 + ml.bz2: Mar 22 09:10:35 FractalPath kernel: ACPI: CPU0 (power states: C1[C1] C2[C2] C3[C3]) Mar 22 09:10:35 FractalPath kernel: The kobject at, or inside per_cpu__cpuidle_devices+0x40/0x558 is not dynamically allocated.

Mar 22 09:10:35 FractalPath kernel: cpuidle: using driver acpi_idle Not sure if this is a problem. Also, the first time I booted the ml.bz2 build, it hung. I don't have netconsole or a serial debugging system set up, so I have no idea what the problem was. The second boot, ipw2200 loaded with no errors, but NetworkManager wouldn't connect until I removed and reinserted the module.
