It is interesting to see the EAX value similar to stack pointer. Task's FP area gets dynamically allocated and as such EAX def looks wrong here. I also see the config is using 4K stacks. Some config(viafb/squashfs?) causing some thing wrong with the kernel stack? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
