Subject: Re: crash on CONFIG_CFAG12864B=y in 2.6.20-rc3-mm1
Ok, here it is the patch, just a draft.
I have checked the Makefile to ensure that ks0108 was being called before than cfag12864b at boot, still, I'm not sure and I don't know if this will prevent the crash if ks0108 fails to init.
Daniel, please test it.
