I want to express my thanks to you including Geert's pci-res patch, now
I'm able again to run the latest devel tree from bk on my ancient 7200
with it's 2940UW.
It is running since three h.

You are lucky. For me it stops booting after the "freeing unused kernel
memory" line. The one from 2 days ago had 2 days uptime.

Usually this means that some function/data is marked __init while it must not.
Quick verification: #undef __init / #define __init etc.

Just wondering: wouldn't it be possible to write some tool to find such bugs?

Update: After a recompilation with today's updates, the latest bk kernel
boots again for me.
