Also if one doesn't select DEBUG_LL, I wonder if it makes sense to expect the "Uncompressing .... " message, which too is just dumping raw data onto UART. So another option might be to simply use CONFIG_DEBUG_LL instead of CONFIG_DEBUG_DECOMPRESS_KERNEL ? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-omap" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
