(Resending this to the correct mailing-list :) Hi all, I've been trying several times to boot a 64bit kernel with CONFIG_PRINTK_TIME=y and each time it failed. This is the output of my L2000 when trying to do so : Information: No console specified on kernel command line. This is normal. PALO will choose the console currently used by firmware (serial). Command line for kernel: 'root=/dev/md1 console=ttyS0 palo_kernel=2/vmlinux' Selected kernel: /vmlinux from partition 2 ELF64 executable Entry 00100000 first 00100000 n 2 Segment 0 load 00100000 size 4997120 mediaptr 0x1000 Segment 1 load 00634000 size 640576 mediaptr 0x4c5000 Branching to kernel entry point 0x00100000. If this is the last message you see, you may need to switch your console. This is a common symptom -- search the FAQ and mailing list at parisc-linux.org ************* SYSTEM ALERT ************** SYSTEM NAME: uninitialized DATE: 07/16/2008 TIME: 17:47:39 ALERT LEVEL: 7 = reserved REASON FOR ALERT SOURCE: 0 = unknown, no source stated SOURCE DETAIL: 0 = unknown, no source stated SOURCE ID: FF PROBLEM DETAIL: 0 = no problem detail LEDs: RUN ATTENTION FAULT REMOTE POWER FLASH FLASH OFF ON ON LED State: Running non-OS code.

How can this be troubleshooted ? Any idea what the problem could be ? I'm using gcc-4.2.4 with kernel 2.6.26 but I've have had very same results with gcc-4.1.2 and 2.6.25.
