Just curious, how do you go about > debugging an issue like this? Well it was a bit tricky to find out as random changes to .config would make it work. Found the breaking patch with git bisect, but could not see anything wrong with it. Then thought it somehow misbehaves with CONFIG_SMP_ON_UP, but some printhex8 debugging showed that it happens even earlier. Then went back few lines in the boot to narrow it down, but finally had to step through it with jtag to see that the address loaded into r5 was not aligned.
