The following kernel panic occurs when the RHEL6 installer starts on qemu.git/master:
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null) IP: [<ffffffffa0062ceb>] floppy_ready+0xfb/0x730 [floppy] For full details see http://pastebin.com/SYE5A6LA. git-bisect revealed that the following commit causes this panic: commit 63ffb564dca94f8bda01ed6d209784104630a4d2 Author: Blue Swirl <blauwir...@gmail.com> Date: Sat Feb 5 16:32:23 2011 +0000 fdc: refactor device creation Turn fdc_init_isa into an inline function. Get floppy geometry directly from the drives. Don't expose FDCtrl. Signed-off-by: Blue Swirl <blauwir...@gmail.com> The CMOS value at 0x10 has changed from 0x00 to 0x40 but I have not located the root cause of the problem. Blue Swirl: Any thoughts on this bug?
