In the current git pulls from Linus's tree, I get a kernel BUG if
CONFIG_SCHED_SMT is defined. It does not always appear, but when it does, it
is late in the bootup sequence. Perhaps there is a timing issue. This is an
x86_64 system on an HP dv2815nr notebook with and AMD Turion X2 CPU. My
distro is openSUSE 11.0.

kernel: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at

Maybe LKML is slow and somebody else replied to this before me, but I
know how much I hate to discover that I've been bisecting something
that was fixed a week ago in another tree, so here's a link you might
try :-)

That patch fixes my problem as well. I scanned the LKML archive just before submitting my E-mail, but I missed your thread.

Thanks,

Larry
