This is a little follow up to my previous post. I think that I have found the error. Seems to be quite obvious...
in ide.c:
static void save_match (ide_hwif_t *hwif, ide_hwif_t *new, ide_hwif_t **match) { ide_hwif_t *m = *match;
if (m && m->hwgroup && m->hwgroup != new->hwgroup) { if (!new->hwgroup) return; printk("%s: potential irq problem with %s and %s\n", hwif->name, }
if (m->irq != hwif->irq) /* don't undo a prior perfect match */ ^^^ Error!!!!! *match = new; }
In the marked line, 'm' may still be initialized to NULL. I'm not sure on the fix... It probably should be a simple m && m->irq or !m || m->irq. But since i'm no expert on the kernel...
Anxiously awaiting 101...
Mike
