[kernel-bugs] [Bug 1173891] BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000d during install on i686 notebook

Is this a regression from the earlier TW releases?

Can't tell. I got recently access to some old notebooks and thought having them run Linux is a good idea.

Also, any chance to try a newer kernel, e.g. the one in OBS Kernel:stable repo?

Since it happens during install it can be a little tricky, but maybe I have time during weekend. Or do you have a pointer to a TW installer with a recent kernel?

FWIW, the stack trace implies that file->f_mapping is NULL and crashes at io_is_direct() check.

FWIW, I see a similar issue on a second Intel Atom (ia32) based Lenovo Notebook, it crashes also while installing. Sadly so hard that I cannot get anything from the console. Thanks, //richard -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
