Subject: 2.6.20-rc4-mm1

Temporarily at

http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/2.6.20-rc4-mm1/

Will appear later at

ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.20-rc3/2.6.20-rc4-mm1/

- Added the e1000 driver development tree, as git-e1000.patch (Auke Kok
<[email protected]>)

- Added the HID development tree, as git-hid.patch (Jiri Kosina
<[email protected]>)

- Added the unionfs filesystem driver as git-unionfs.patch (Josef "Jeff"
Sipek <[email protected]>)

- Merged the "filesystem AIO patches".

Boilerplate:

- See the `hot-fixes' directory for any important updates to this patchset.

- To fetch an -mm tree using git, use (for example)

git-fetch git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/smurf/linux-trees.git tag v2.6.16-rc2-mm1
git-checkout -b local-v2.6.16-rc2-mm1 v2.6.16-rc2-mm1

- -mm kernel commit activity can be reviewed by subscribing to the
mm-commits mailing list.

echo "subscribe mm-commits" | mail [email protected]

- If you hit a bug in -mm and it is not obvious which patch caused it, it is
most valuable if you can perform a bisection search to identify which patch
introduced the bug. Instructions for this process are at

http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/bisecting-mm-trees.txt

But beware that this process takes some time (around ten rebuilds and
reboots), so consider reporting the bug first and if we cannot immediately
identify the faulty patch, then perform the bisection search.

- When reporting bugs, please try to Cc: the relevant maintainer and mailing
list on any email.

- When reporting bugs in this kernel via email, please also rewrite the
email Subject: in some manner to reflect the nature of the bug. Some
developers filter by Subject: when looking for messages to read.

- Semi-daily snapshots of the -mm lineup are uploaded to
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/mm/ and are announced on
the mm-commits list.

Hi,

The git-acpi.patch replaces earlier "if(!handler) return -EINVAL" by
"BUG_ON(!handler)". This locks my machine early at boot with a message
along the lines of (It's hand copied):
Int 6: cr2: 00000000 eip: c0570e05 flags: 00010046 cs: 60
stack: c054ffac c011db2b c04936d0 c054ff68 c054ffc0 c054fff4 c057da2c

Reverting the change as follows, allows booting:
Any ideas to debug this further?

Regards,
Frederik

Me too, please just send me a patch adding them to pci.h so you don't
have to have #ifdefs in your .c code.
