If the output has > "[BUG]..address.", Pls. map the address to function name by System.map. Without proof^H^H^H^H^Hpasting my dmesg and the "diff", I already concluded that ide_setup was the culprit. (I've debuged parse_one, and it barfed around the 3rd parameter which is hdb=noprobe). Anyway, a bad night of sleep reminds me that our EM64T boxes also have this line (which actually is a remainder of our VA1220 boxes ;-) ), and they don't barf, so it must be either the combination of the sata_nv together with the pata driver part, *or* just the pata driver part. (Our opteron != nforce chipsets also works). I will trace down the ide_setup today. First loads of coffee. -- program signature; begin { telegraaf.com } writeln(" TEM2"); end .
