Well, I'd not say it's just a bandaid patch, it's real bug -- either we can read kvmclock (so it's initialized), or we don't touch it (at least before registration). > Can you try with printk timing disabled and see if the bug disappears? Yes it disappears so far, at last I can't trigger it anymore, tried numerous boots including the 2.6.35.6 32bit kernel (patched with the printk registration patch!) which shows the prob in almost every boot.
