Hi Alan,

quoted

this morning i got a NULL pointer dereference in tty_register_device() that
looked similar to the one, i posted here on 03-jun-2009:

As the boot sequence stopped after this point, i was only able to take a
picture of it - see attached jpg.

I was able to shut down the system gracefully by pressing the power button.

The problem emerges really seldom.

Any idea?

tty_register_device appears to have been called with a NULL pointer. Not
sure why however.

if that is the pointer for the struct device, then that used to be fine
in the past. Not all RFCOMM device have a parent when they are created.

Regards

Marcel
