This will allow you to see the crash message. Please also double check that you patched the kernel with my fix correctly. I used your exact config, on the exact same kind of system, reproducing the exact same hang, and it goes away with my fix. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kernel-testers" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
