This seems to point at a toolchain issue.
More information: * No improvement in 2.6.23-rc9. * Building the same config on a different system with the same toolchain, fails the same. So it's not just one system acting weirdly, the bug can be reproduced. * I tried arbitrary values for the kzalloc() in dmi-id.c, the bottom line is that anything above 64 bytes triggers the bug. * The same kzalloc() in a different driver doesn't trigger the bug. I'm puzzled, no idea what to try next. -- Jean Delvare - 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/
