Subject: NULL pointer in nvidiafb initialisation (manual modprobe)

While booting a nforce (first generation) based computer with udev module
loading disabled and loading nvidiafb.ko later on from console (modprobe
nvidiafb) I experience the following trace.
This does not happen every time nor does it happen when nvidiafb gets
loaded by udev.

Kernel is 2.6.24 from kernel.org with a few patches:
- squashfs3.3
- patches referred to by Raphael in http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/1/27/292

Below, trace, lspci and parts of my config.

Regards,
Bruno
