This happen on stock debian 6.1.0-23-powerpc64le.

I debugged a bit and the crash happen in arch/powerpc/platforms/powernv/rng.c in pnv_get_random_long()
The call rng = get_cpu_var(pnv_rng) return null and so rng is dereferenced via ->regs just after.

I have no real idea on how to fix properly (appart adding a "!rng return 0" test)

Regards
