Hi!

This issue is still not fixed in 2.6.26.1 - may be there a way to commit it in 2.6.26.2?

Still, the provided patch I got on 07/17/2008 works great ...

Thanks, anyway!

kind regards, Alois

Hi!

I've updated my machine from 2.6.25.11 to 2.6.26 and I think I've found a problem.

If I load the module vt8623fb i get a kernel oops, if the VIA 8623 display framebuffer driver is compiled direct into kernel the system hangs up very early at booting the kernel.
I am sorry for mistake, here is a patch for 2.6.26 fixing the bug:

I went back through the email thread and wrote your changelog for you. Not a very good one though.

It would be better were you to write your changelogs, please.
