Hi all, My boot tests last night produced this during boot: Loading, please wait... exe used greatest stack depth: 11120 bytes left async/0 used greatest stack depth: 10928 bytes left -- 0:conmux-control -- time-stamp -- Jun/09/09 21:02:12 -- INFO: task init:1 blocked for more than 120 seconds.

Sometimes during the bisection run, it was a different process - but it was the same backtrace. Bisection lead me to this: d4fdcb2068eef29c03d6027aa219fa60171c6b87 is first bad commit commit d4fdcb2068eef29c03d6027aa219fa60171c6b87 Author: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@xxxxxxx> Date: Thu May 21 16:00:59 2009 -0400 fs: i_flags and i_state in struct inode only need to be unsigned short Currently i_flags and i_state do not need to be an unsigned int and an unsigned long, respectively. (We currently use 9 i_flags bits, and 8 i_state bits.) Changing them to be an unsigned short saves 4 bytes per inode on an x86 platform, and 8 bytes on an x86_64 platform. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@xxxxxxx> Cc: linux-fsdevel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Reverting that commit from next-20090609 gets me a bootable kernel. The machines are PowerPC64 (so big endian). It looks to me like we use bitops on i_state - don't our bitops only apply to unsigned longs? -- Cheers, Stephen Rothwell sfr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.canb.auug.org.au/~sfr/
