find below a colorful unwinder crash, on an i386 UNWIND_STACK + FRAME_POINTERS kernel. It crashed on the context-> dereference: /* Should be after the line below, but somewhere in early boot context comes out corrupted and we can't reference it -AK */ if (ops->stack(data, "IRQ") < 0) break; stack = (unsigned long*)context->previous_esp; if (!stack) break; the comment suggests that such a crash isnt without precedence, but my crash wasnt during early bootup, it was on a working system.
