Hi, thanks for your help. I a m using -rc3 on an Ubuntu system. I used "make loadmodconfig" to create my .config. I then enabled Kernel debugging. Should I append my .config file? The bug/warning seems to be added by this commit. http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git;a=commitdiff;h... . I would love to contribute a patch but it I think I better wait until I found a bigger/more problem.
Well, I think, you don't need to. I have seven patches in the kernel, four of which are just spelling fixes [1]. What you need is an explanation coming with every patch you send; again, if you're not sure just send your patch to this list (kernelnewbies) and someone will comment on it.
