Subject : 2.6.24-rc1-54866f032307063776b4eff7eadb131d47f9f9b4 fails to boot: kernel BUG at include/linux/scatterlist.h:49! Submitter : "Torsten Kaiser" <just.for.lkml@googlemail.com> References : http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/11/2/240 Handled-By : Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com> Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>
Two patches are available: http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/11/4/32 http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/11/4/37
Patch http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/11/4/37 is unrelated to the bug and not yet necessary (since sbp2 doesn't activate chained s/g lists in its scsi_host_template). I will push patch http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/11/4/32 to Linus soon.
