This is the same issue I reported much earlier with /sbin/hotplug being a script in initrfamfs. The problem is because pipefs isn't initialized yet at the time the script gets called, and causes a NULL-pointer deref. Obviously you're using pipe above. /mjt - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
