2.5.59 oops with modprobe lp

Hi all,

Just booted my fresh compiled 2.5.59 (patched with reiser4 and kexec), and did a 'modprobe lp'. It segfaulted. lsmod hangs.

gcc (GCC) 3.2.2 20030124 (Debian prerelease)

module-init-tools version 0.9.9-pre

Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 30cb40c0
 printing eip:

Can I provide more info?

Yep. This is due to a small bug in Kai's vmlinux.lds.h cleanup:

Hope this helps!

It does, tnx a lot :-)

(and sorry, a quick grep through my mail archives didn't catch the thread, but after someone kindly mailed me the patch, I saw it was a know issue).
