Subject[PATCH] i386: CONFIG_ACPI_SRAT on non-acpi hw
DateFri, 16 Sep 2005 15:50:08 +0900 (JST)
This patch for 2.6.14-rc1 adds code to check the return value of 
acpi_find_root_pointer(). Without this patch systems without ACPI support
such as QEMU crashes when booting a NUMA kernel with CONFIG_ACPI_SRAT=y.
