Subject: stack overflow in printk_all_partitions.
Date: Wed, 9 May 2012 15:58:48 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120509195848.GA961@redhat.com> (raw)

Szymon (cc'd) reported this oops that prevents his machine booting
a 3.3.4 kernel.

His partition tables don't look anything out of the ordinary to me.

Any ideas what's going wrong here ?

original report at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=819624,
though all pertinent info so far is captured above.
