[DRBD-user] BUG? Oops: kernel NULL pointer dereference in drbd_connector_callback

[Robert Dahlem]

Hi,

I'm trying to install DRBD 0.8.3.4 on top of Linux 2.6.31.3.

# make KDIR=/usr/src/linux kernel-patch
# cd /usr/src/linux
# patch -p1 </xxx/drbd-8.3.4/patch-linux-drbd-8.3.4
# make menuconfig
	CONFIG_CONNECTOR=y
	CONFIG_PROC_EVENTS not set
	CONFIG_BLK_DEV_DRBD=m
	CONFIG_DRBD_TRACE not set
	CONFIG_CRYPTO_HMAC=m
	CONFIG_CRYPTO_SHA1=m

When trying to start DRBD I get an Oops:

Anything I can do to localize this?

Thanks in advance for any help.
