Hi folks, At boot time of the current pre2 kernel I've got 4 internal errors, then it blocked. After booting the old kernel I have found this in kern.log: : : ttyS00 at 0x03f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A ttyS01 at 0x02f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000 printing eip: c010f8a8 *pde = 00000000 Oops: 0002 CPU: 0 EIP: 0010:[kill_sl_info+0/104] EFLAGS: 00010202 eax: 00000000 ebx: 0000000a ecx: c1209124 edx: c1209000 esi: c7e8bf40 edi: bffff370 ebp: c13f6544 esp: c7e8bec4 ds: 0018 es: 0018 ss: 0018 Process rcS (pid: 60, stackpage=c7e8b000) Stack: c7e8bf40 0000000a bffff370 0000000a c010f9d1 0000000a c7e8bf40 c13f6544 c7e8bf40 0000000a bffff370 c7e8bf40 c010fce5 0000000a c7e8bf40 c1216000 c7e8a000 00000000 c010fda3 0000000a c7e8bf40 00000001 c7e8a000 00000000 Call Trace: [kill_something_info+193/216] [sys_rt_sigprocmask+341/432] [sys_rt_sigpending+99/128] [sys_sigprocmask+250/344] [path_walk+704/1912] [register_binfmt+2/76] [device_not_available+60/64] [tracesys+3/35] Code: 89 08 89 4d 04 85 f6 74 07 83 fe 01 74 2b eb 4a b8 00 e0 ff Soundblaster audio driver Copyright (C) by Hannu Savolainen 1993-1996 sb: No ISAPnP cards found, trying standard ones...

It seems that all problems are related to loadable module support. modutils is 2.3.14. CONFIG_MODVERSIONS is not set. How can I help to fix this problem? I am not quite sure about the kernel bug report policy, so please forgive me if something is wrong or missing.
