[2.6.9] HPT372N - oops (NULL pointer dereference)

[2.6.9] HPT372N - oops (NULL pointer dereference)

[Ronald Wahl]

Hello,

I just tried upgrading from 2.6.7 to 2.6.9 and got a kernel oops during
boot. Stack trace looked very similar to the one João Luis Meloni Assirati
reported on Oct 05 2004 (Subject: hpt366 under hpt372N oops). I have a
HPT372N on my board with one disk attached.

Is there any news on this issue yet? It keeps me from using 2.6.9. :-/

thanks,
ron

PS: Keep me in Cc:, please. I'm not on the list. Thx.

Since no one seems to care about it I had a quick look by myself into
drivers/ide/pci/hpt366.c:

For the HPT372N pci_get_drvdata(dev) will return NULL and this will
result in an oops during pci_bus_clock_list() which is called from
hpt372_tune_chipset().
