Subject: [Linux-ia64] null pointer dereference patch
Date: Tue, 12 Feb 2002 21:51:22 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <marc-linux-ia64-105590698806040@msgid-missing> (raw)
Without the attached patch, unaligned references before
init_modules() is called result in null pointer dereferences.
This is against 2.4.17-ia64-011226.
