[Bug 561426] Re: partman dies when trying to detect disks due to kernel error

[Amit Kucheria]

>From the strace:

brk(0)                                  = 0x12000
brk(0x33000)                            = 0x33000
open("/dev/mem", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE)  = 3
mmap2(NULL, 65536, PROT_READ, MAP_SHARED, 3, 0xf0) = 0x40200000
--- SIGBUS (Bus error) @ 0 (0) ---
+++ killed by SIGBUS +++


We shouldn't be mapping /dev/mem on the arm devices w/o word alignment. Is this a byte-aligned access? That could throw this error as shown in http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-omap@vger.kernel.org/msg18053.html
