Hi all
I am not a specialist in ix86 asm / architecture, therefore a question
here. Under 2.4.30 I've got an Oops below.
<1>Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000
c010c881
<1>*pde = 00000000
Oops: 0002
CPU: 0
EIP: 0010:[<c010c881>] Tainted: P
what modules are you using?
It's some our local module. No idea what it does. But the question is
purerlly theoretical - how can such an oops happen and what it means? I
think in the meantime, the "mov" instruction itself cannot cause it. So,
is it corrupted stack, or "imprecise abort", or what?
Thanks
