Revision a1a15ac5f9aeee521c048a88fc1aec848e623de7 authored by Kris Shannon on 02 March 2009, 08:47:37 UTC, committed by Jens Axboe on 05 March 2009, 11:04:57 UTC
When booting Xen Dom0 on a pre-release 3.2.1 hypervisor the system Oopses on a "Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference" in xenwatch. From the backtrace it looks like backend_changed is calling bdget_disk with a NULL pointer. Checking for NULL and returning ENODEV instead allows the kernel to boot.
