Subject3.6 Regression: kernel NULL pointer dereference in pacpi_set_dmamode
Hello,
We have an early boot crash in 3.6 and 3.6.1 on many machines, using
nvidia chipsets. Boot fails in 1 case to 10 boots or 9 cases in 10 boots, depending on machine.

The head of log, got via serial console(full log attached):

Disabling on-board IDE controller in BIOS seems to workarownd the problem.

Regards,
Anton
