Recent days, I have ported MTD NAND flash driver to x86, using GeodeGX board.
Module loading is ok. But, when I try to access NAND device, The Kernel says
what follows and go away...
Using ksymoops, I found that kernel dies in __wake_up.
But I don't know actually which variable causes Null pointer dereferencing.
If I remove all wake_up in nand.c intentionally, all works file. But, I think
that's not a solution.
Tested kernel includes
2.4.9(vanilla)
2.4.2(redhat) + mtd snapshot(20010906)
2.4.2_hhl20(hard hat linux)
all above kernel shows the same phenomenon.
Here goes oops message
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000
