For me, next-20120508 prints nothing when booted, and I think also hangs. To solve this, I reverted: 7ff9554 printk: convert byte-buffer to variable-length record buffer In order to build, I also had to revert: c4e00da driver-core: extend dev_printk() to pass structured data Note: I'm running on an ARM system using a serial console, with earlyprintk enabled. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-next" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
