Message-ID: <20100505132056.GZ3479@localhost> Date: Wed, 5 May 2010 15:20:56 +0200 From: Nils Radtke <Nils.Radtke@...nk-Future.de> To: "Jan Evert van Grootheest (SDG)" <j.e.van.grootheest@...way.nl> Cc: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: Re: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference, i915_gem_object_move_to_active Hi Jan, It's been happening here since first kernel on this box, when "the other OS" had to leave, approx. end of 2008. *ubuntu didn't help either, so far. A kernel NULL ptr deref looks like a serious thing, at least to me. Unfortunately, I'm not yet that deep into kernel code that I myself could do that easily.. Maybe someone more apt in this regard can help us out here?
