Subject: [2.6 PATCH] visor: Always do generic_startup
Date: Tue, 16 Nov 2004 16:49:43 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20041116154943.GA13874@k3.hellgate.ch> (raw)

generic_startup in visor.c was not called for some hardware, resulting
in attempts to access memory that had never been allocated, which in
turn caused the problem several people reported with recent (2.6.10ish)
kernels.
