From: Pavel Emelyanov <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Typically the oops first lines look like this:
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000 printing eip: c049dfbd *pde = 00000000 Oops: 0002 [#1] PREEMPT SMP ... Such output is gained with some ugly if (!nl) printk("\n"); code and besides being a waste of lines, this is also annoying to read. The following output looks better (and it is how it looks on x86_64): BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000 printing eip: c049dfbd *pde = 00000000 Oops: 0002 [#1] PREEMPT SMP ...
