Alpha DP264, test12. Panic during boot.
I copied this from the console (by hand):

Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init!
Ksymoops (2.3.5) refused to process it (couldn't find the Code line) but
it did locate this code in pdev_sort_resources() in
drivers/pci/setup-res.c, which was compiled as
gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2
-fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -mno-fp-regs -ffixed-8
-mcpu=ev6 -Wa,-mev6 -c -o setup-res.o setup-res.c
resulting in:
ldq $6,16($10)
ldq $5,8($10)
br $31,$L911
.align 4
$L913:
mov $9,$11 list = list->next
$L911:
ldq $9,0($11) ln = list->next
subq $6,$5,$4
in which $L913: is the top of the loop:
for (list = head; ; list = list->next) {
unsigned long size = 0;
struct resource_list *ln = list->next;
if (ln)
size = ln->res->end - ln->res->start;
if (r->end - r->start > size) {
tmp = kmalloc(sizeof(*tmp), GFP_KERNEL);
tmp->next = ln;
tmp->res = r;
tmp->dev = dev;
list->next = tmp;
break;
}
}
So, presumably, near the end of the loop list->next is NULL and
the line
struct resource_list *ln = list->next;
causes the oops.
