There are various earlier cleanup patches in mm > that fix various core issues that make all of this possible. which are those patches? I found only a single relevant patch: modules-fold-percpu_modcopy-into-modulec-and-get-rid-of-the-macro-from-hell.patch anything else i missed? this patch should have no relevance to the crash i reported. (i use a bzImage) It's also a cleanup patch only, it should not affect correctness. Ingo
