Hi, I'm seeing the NULL ptr dereference below on each boot of KVM virtual machine. q->elevator is NULL. This is next-20111025. I tried to apply Tejun's patch from: https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/4/30/87 but it doesn't help. Maybe I should revert something? Scanning for LVM volume groups... Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while...
