HP rx2620 broken in 2.6.19+

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



My rx2620 won't boot a current linus-git kernel (2.6.19 worked).  It
dies with a NULL dereference:

pci_hotplug: PCI Hot Plug PCI Core version: 0.5
acpiphp: ACPI Hot Plug PCI Controller Driver version: 0.5
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference (address 0000000000000000)

Not tainted
ip is at ia64_ivt+0x5fffffff00000000/0x400

Running git bisect points to this commit (and dropping out that call to
acpiphp_glue_exit() from latest git does make the kernel boot).

    acpiphp: fix missing acpiphp_glue_exit()
    
    acpiphp_glue_exit() needs to be called to unwind when no slots found.
    (It fixes data corruption when reloading acpiphp driver with no such devices)
