Package: linux-2.6 Version: 2.6.26-1 Forwarded: corenti...@iksaif.net, acpi4asus-u...@lists.sourceforge.net, linux-ker...@vger.kernel.org Tags: patch
I was adjusting my EeePC 901's display brightness via Fn-F3 while it was starting up. By coincidence, it happened to be initialising the eeepc-laptop module, and an oops was logged. Investigation pointed to a NULL dereference; a case of use-before-init. (I'm using 2.6.28.1 with eeepc-laptop compiled in, but inspection of the 2.6.26 source indicates that the problem is there too.)
