The message will get printed to the console only when pr_cont("bla bla \n") is called or when another non-continuous printk() is called. > > Does the system boot when you avoid "earlycon" parameter? > > It doesn't boot, it hangs and I don't get any output. The difference might be that earlycon uses the serial port. While the normal console is terminal "tty0". Does it help to configure also the normal serial console. I mean booting with something like: earlycon console=uart,mmio32,0x00000000ff1a0000,1500000n8 console=tty0 I am not completely sure about the console=uart parameter. It is a shame but I have never used it. I took the format from Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt and the values from your boot log: [ 0.000000] earlycon: uart0 at MMIO32 0x00000000ff1a0000 (options '1500000n8') > > > I've booted a kernel compiled with CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING=y, as the offending > > > commit fiddles with locks, but no splat was produced that would explain the > > > hang.

Unfortunately, it did not print anything :-( Best Regards, Petr
