Hi Venkatesh,

It looks like your commit 0dc698b93f3eecdda43b22232131324eb41e510c
causes init to segfault on one of my computers.

Reverting 0dc698b9 on top of 2.6.35-rc2 solves the problem.

Let me know if you would like more details or if I can help with testing.

Tom

Hi Tom,

Hmm... Do you have the actual message you see on fault?
Does the problem happen at the boot time?

If you can provide some addittional info above and 'dmesg' from no
error case (with this revert) and put them all in a bug at
bugzilla.kernel.org under ACPI, it will be great.

Thanks,

Yes, the problem happens at boot time (so don't have the message
readily available). I will write it down after work tonight and report
a bug as you suggested.
