Summary: Computer blocks when initializing ALI Chipset on startup Kernel Version: 2.6.0-test5 Status: NEW Severity: high Owner: greg@kroah.com Submitter: bardok@telefonica.net
Distribution: Debian Woody 3.0 Hardware Environment: ALI M1563 based P4 Laptop PC Software Environment: Startup Problem Description:
When the system tries to initialize the ALI chipset, either as a module or compiled into the kernel, it completely hangs.
When it is compiled as a module, it just blocks the computer, but when compiled into the kernel, it prints following error:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer derreference at virtual address 00000020 printing EIP: c03f6b90 *pde = 00000000 Ooops: 0000 [#1] ... EIP is at init_chipset_ali15x3+0x120/0x190 ... Call trace: [...] do_ide_setup_pci_device+0x93/0x13c [...] ide_setup_pci_device+0x1a/0x68 ...
The same driver can perfectly be loaded with the 2.4.22 kernel, I even get DMA activated...
If the maintainer needs any other help, I have no problem to hack the driver and make any tests or researches needed, in the case he/she has no access to the hardware this bug refers to...
Steps to reproduce:
Compile ALI15X3 into the kernel, or as a module, and reboot...
