Instead the display is blank with only a cursor. However, if I switch back to VT1 from X.Org after the boot has completed, the missing messa... 17 Apr 2010 11:53

[PATCH] vt6655: Rename hostap_set_hostapd, hostap_iotctl.
The functions hostap_set_hostapd, hostap_iotctl clashed with functions of the same name with CONFIG_HOSTAP=y and/or CONFIG_VT6656=y.

The buffer is just nine bytes an so it is a waste to allocate it on heap where it can be allocated on stack with the rest of local variables. This simp... 17 Apr 2010 11:53

kernel BUG at kernel/power/snapshot.c:522
Hi, I get the bug listed in the subject frequently, but not always, when I invoke s2disk to suspend to disk with a self-compiled kernel 2.6.33.X on my Thinkpad T40. Unfortunately, I cannot provide the full error log as text since the error is only displayed on the screen. You can get a photo of the full erro... 20 Apr 2010 16:10

[patch 4/5] rcu head remove init
RCU heads really don't need to be initialized. Their state before call_rcu() really does not matter. We need to keep init/destroy_rcu_head_on_stack() though, since we want debugobjects to be able to keep track of these objects.
