Of course you need more information. It seems, that my original mail wasn't
delivered completely :-(
Here it comes:
CSLIP: ....
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address c0000000
EIP: 0010:001423b0
(gdb) l *0x001423b0
0x1423b0 is in dev_close (/usr/src/linux/include/linux/skbuff.h:231).
226 restore_flags(flags);
227 return NULL;
228 }
229 else
230 {
231 result->next->prev = list;
232 list->next = result->next;
233
234 result->next = NULL;
235 result->prev = NULL;
Hmmm... it seems that the current gdb (I use 4.13) can cope with non-running
kernels. Maybe it is time to change the README accordingly.
In addition to that, 'net/ipv4/igmp.c' doesn't compile because 'struct igmphdr'
misses a member called code.
Today I've compiled 1.3.22 without SLIP support in the kernel and this one
works fine, even when I insmod slip.o.
