Hi Linus, Please see below, the kernelci.org automated boot bisection found that the OMAP3 BeagleBoard-xM is failing to boot with SMP disabled and PREEMPT enabled in multi_v7_defconfig. There is no log output after the bootloader so the kernel seems to be crashing very early on. Here are the details and log of the "bad" boot: https://kernelci.org/boot/id/5bde6b0459b51468bcda93e0/ https://storage.kernelci.org/mainline/master/v4.19-12838-g71e56028173b/arm/multi_v7_defconfig+CONFIG_SMP=n/lab-baylibre/boot-omap3-beagle-xm.html and the history of all the bisection steps and checks: http://lava.baylibre.com:10080/scheduler/device/omap3-beagle-xm-sea?recent_length=20&recent_search=lava-bisect-9615#recent_ Please note that the board went offline after that so we don't know if it's already fixed in v4.20-rc1, although that would seem quite unlikely. As always, please take the automated bisection results with a pinch of salt: the root cause often lies somewhere else than in the "breaking" commit found, and there has been no further investigation beyond the automated bisection results. Hope this helps!
