It looks like this is a known issue and is fixed in 2.6.25-rc5. See Bugzilla for details: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9909 I've attached the Bugzilla patch, just for additional info, but I haven't tried applying this to 2.6.24 myself to see if it works. I'm guessing hardy is frozen at 2.6.24 - any chance of this fix being backported? Originally reported as bug #204328, however I realized I filed it against linux-meta, rather than linux-source-2.6.24. I'll mark the other bug as a duplicate. ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: kernel-oops -- Kernel Oops - unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference; EIP is at mptsas_probe_expander_phys+0x72/0x610 [mptsas] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/205162 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
