Re: 2.6.20-mm2: Oops in generic_make_request

[Oliver Pahl <opahl@toshsoft.de>]

Is this Problem still investigated? I got the same kernel bug a few
minutes after booting my system with 2.6.20-mm2. As a student i am not
yet as familiar with kernel programming as i want to be, but i will try,
i promise. In the meantime, i always try to test the newest mm patches,
and i have to say, this one is the first which doesent work right on my
sys since 2.6.15-mm1. Thanks, keep up the good work an please help me
with this Problem
