I'm triggering this BUG_ON during boot, which happens while freeing initrd memory: EIP is at free_init_pages+0x37/0xac [<c01143f1>] free_initrd_mem+0x11/0x13 [<c03ce259>] free_initrd+0x13/0x29 [<c03cf647>] populate_rootfs+0xdc/0xe2 [<c01003af>] init+0x42/0x253 [<c0103bbb>] kernel_thread_helper+0x7/0x10 I'm not sure why this memory isn't aligned now. The patch below allows my system to boot. Any clues about the correct fix appreciated.
