It's really hard to keep track of all this, so it's likely that some things will still sneak through. - Reuben Farrelly's oops in make_class_name(). Could be libata, or scsi or driver core. - A few problems with ehci. For example Grant Coady went oops loading the module. Probably USB, maybe solved now, but there are interactions... - gregkh-pci-x86-pci-domain-support-the-meat.patch is a problem, but wasn't in this tree. > [ There's at least a pci_call_probe() NULL ptr dereference report by > Martin Bligh, I think Andrew has a few others he's tracked.. ] Yes, Martin is reporting failures on a few machines. Hopefully he's working out whether gregkh-pci-x86-pci-domain-support-the-meat.patch was the culprit here. If so, I'd say we're good to go. If that's _not_ the source then we just don't know where the failure is coming from. All very vague, sorry. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
