Subject: 2.5.58 Oops when booting from initrd - kobject_del
Date: Tue, 14 Jan 2003 02:47:40 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200301140247.40861.ivangurdiev@attbi.com> (raw)

Kernel: 2.5.58 (everything but the tag changeset)

My attempt to boot an initrd resulted in the following oops:
(scribbled down important parts)
=======================================================
unable to handle kernel NULL pointer at virtual address 00000064
...
EIP at sysfs_remove_dir + 0xb/0x140
...

Last I checked initrd worked fine in 2.5.56
============================================================

Another two minor questions for whoever might read this.

- Would it be possible to make Kconfig remember the location from which the
   config file was last loaded? It would be more convenient that way.

- Is Jaroslav Kysela, <perex@suse.cz> the current ALSA maintainer 
	as listed in MAINTAINERS for 2.5.58?
