Hi, I try to run kernel 2.6.22.1 plus -rt8 on my PowerPC MPC5200C based system. The kernel comes up, userspace comes up, and I can log in via serial console. *After* login, it see bash's prompt. But then when I press any key I get the following output (every time): [...] phyCORE-MPC5200B-tiny login: root root@phyCORE-MPC5200B-tiny:~ ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at kernel/rtmutex.c:682! stopped custom tracer.

Any idea? Same behavior with -rt4. But command line works with a plain vanilla 2.6.22.1 kernel. BTW: Working with the shell via telnet is possible without such an error message.
