NULL pointer In-Reply-To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> References: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> X-Mailer: VM 6.75 under 21.1 (patch 14) "Cuyahoga Valley" XEmacs Lucid
Seems that Aaron's problem is more substantial than just cardmgr. I also started to get kernel Oops of the kind (pcmcia unrelated): Unable to handle paging request Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference in Mandrake Linux Release 8.2 (Bluebird) kernel 2.4.18-6mdk It looks like the virtual memory management system is buggy (just a guess). Question: is it Mandrake's or www.kernel.org problem and who could be interested in getting/fixing such bug reports?
