Kernel BUG

Hi Trond,

I am running a sparc-linux kernel using an NFS Root and it is falling over
with the trace below.

My Kernel is not a standard kernel (I have had to tweek it to get the
SBUS GC3 and the 82077 floppy to work on my OPUS Sparc 1 clone).

Can you advise me on any known issues in the NFS Client code that might
enter NULL pointers into the 'slot->slots[i]' in __lookup_tag.

If there are none that you are aware of, are there any specific areas that
I should investigate with printk statements.

The Kernel is cross compiled on an Athlon 64 3400+ (32bit linux at the
moment) using GCC-4.0.2 and Binutils-2.16.1. Compilation takes about 10
minutes so there is no real issue in making changes to the kernel to find
the source of the problem.

A compiler/binutils bug should not be ruled out. I might try
gcc-3.4.3/binutils-2.15.

Please let me know if you would like further information.

Regards
Mark Fortescue.
