So using defconfig and float I debugged around a bit and for q3-2007 I see what looks to be compiler error. The parameter in R1 which sets PERIODIC mode for call to clockevnet_set_mode()is destroyed. See PNG. I did make sure at start_kernel the correct opcode was in place (no overwrite later, no cache flush issue). If I apply hacks to reduce optimization scope the code does go past hang. See attached hack. It seems kind of odd this would bite now after a lot of new use. Perhaps the new mix of functions and layout triggered it. Regards, Richard W.
