I'm using linux-omap-2.6.27-omap1 and am seeing an apparent timing issue at kernel startup. The board is an OMAP 35x EVM and is configured to boot from the SDcard. Everything works find IF a keyboard is connected to the USB port of the EVM - the kernel detects the mmcblk0 device (SDcard) and all it's partitions, and mounts mmcblk0p1 appropriately as root. However, if the keyboard is not installed the SDcard is not recognized and the kernel panics. Same kernel, same kernel args, save everything - just different response based on whether keyboard is attached or not. Any ideas? I'm including the good and bad kernel startup logs below... Thanks, twebb ***** Good ***** Linux version 2.6.27-omap1 (jb@jb) (gcc version 4.2.1 (CodeSourcery Source ry G++ Lite 2007q3-51)) #16 Thu Mar 19 16:59:31 EDT 2009 CPU: ARMv7 Processor [411fc082] revision 2 (ARMv7), cr=00c5387f Machine: OMAP3 EVM Memory policy: ECC disabled, Data cache writeback OMAP3430 ES2.1 SRAM: Mapped pa 0x40200000 to va 0xd7000000 size: 0x100000 CPU0: L1 I VIPT cache.
