Good Day,

Since switching to gcc 4.8.0 to compile the kernel (versions ranging from 3.6.11 through 3.9-rc8), I've been getting the following kernel oops at radeon/radeon_vram_location. This is on an HP 6715b laptop using an R300 RS690 chip. No issues with the newer radeon chipsets and no issues if gcc 4.7.2 is used. I wonder, gcc bug or gcc exposing a radeon bug? Neil
