Hi, Here's a fix - it's a missing NULL check in get_framebuffer_info (I think this is an Ubuntu specific issue - I can't see the code in the mainline. I think it was triggered by the code in http://old.nabble.com/-PATCH-0-2---Maverick--boot-frambuffer-crash-fixes-td29297713.html )
lshw goes and creates it's own fb devices in tmp to prod them, and creates minor 1 and tries to open it and BANG.
