[Bug 1318040] Re: bbswitch prevents suspend and taints kernel

 

This problem may occur when your compiler (gcc) is different than the
one used to compile the kernel. Have you installed an older gcc version
(maybe via CUDA?). What does `gcc -v` show?

Title:
  bbswitch prevents suspend and taints kernel

Status in bbswitch package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When initiating suspend (to RAM), the kernel gets tainted. This is a
  regression that appeared after upgrading from Kubuntu 13.10 to 14.04.
  My computer has a discrete nVidia G210M card (hybrid SLI system, on
  ASUS UL80VT). Here is an extract from dmesg:

  PM: Preparing system for mem sleep
  BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 00000000000000b8
