Subject: 2.5.40 bug related to virtual consoles
Date: Mon, 7 Oct 2002 15:53:40 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200210072253.g97MreU29529@xdr.com> (raw)

Please cc me on replies.

I'm running 2.5.40 on a cutting edge via embedded C3 motherboard. When I
turn off CONFIG_FB and CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE I get this during bootup:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000004    
 printing eip:

 <0>Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init!                                       

This is inside drivers/char/vt.c in vc_allocate just after the visual_init
call.

Related configs are:
CONFIG_VT=y
CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_HW_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_CONSOLE=y

If I turn either CONFIG_FB or CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE back on it boots fine.
With CONFIG_FB I don't actually have any other FB related settings on and
I never actually use the frame buffer device.

Let me know if more information is needed. Thanks!
