Hi,
I have narrowed this down to one file, drivers/scsi/mesh.c which is
the host adapter driver for the internal SCSI controller on a
PowerMac8600. If I compile this file with 4.1.2 and everything else
with 4.3.5 then the beast will boot.
Anyone have any thoughts on what changed (something optimizery I would
guess?) between 4.1.2 and 4.3.5?
strict-aliasing? Try building with -fnostrict-aliasing and see if it helps.
Thanks!

P.S.: MAN I'M FREAKIN' FREEZIN!

Hi,
If I enable SMP then I can get a 4.3.5 compiled kernel to boot. I also
tried 4.2.4 with no success (no SMP). 4.1.2 WILL boot (again no SMP).
Is there anyone here that knows more than I do (which means they know
something - I know nothing) about the intricacies of Linux kernel
building, especially on PowerPC.
Thanks!
kevin
