So that seems to be the reason… Hmmm... that part shouldn't matter. As long as you are hitting the same code path. My guess is one of them has CONFIG_MODULES enabled and the other doesn't. In either case, I think the patch needs to be reverted (I'll send out one soon), but that'll also mean I need to revert part of my patch (sets the timeout back to 0) or I need to fix this case: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/TYAPR01MB45443DF63B9EF29054F7C41FD8C60@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/ I'll try to do the latter if I can get something reasonable soon. Otherwise, I'll just do the revert + partial revert. -Saravana > My other machine with an initramfs does not show this problem. > > > -Saravana > > Sebastian
