The first is passing a NULL pointer to a workqueue from clocksource_mark_unstable(). This is fixed by reverting 7285dd7 "clocksource: Resolve cpu hotplug dead lock with TSC unstable" from the x86 timers/core tree; Martin's fix had no affect on this crash. [ I notice Thomas has since provided patches for this problem, so I'll check if it solves this issue on T60p. ] The second is an issue with the i8042 driver's laptop table not being NULL terminated. This is fixed by Jin Dongming's patch at http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=125263897713267. The config you attached, however, is very different from mmotm-2009-09-14-01-57, so perhaps try this kernel with the above two fixes to see if you can successfully boot? --531381004-747096607-1252990070=:30373-- -- 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/
