Hi, yesterday I tried to make the buzzer on the Mini2440 platform work again. But when I add one of the timer device descriptions to list of devices, the Linux-3.11 kernel crashes. This does not happen to Linux-3.10. What I have done: $ make mini2440_defconfig Change one single line: diff --git a/arch/arm/mach-s3c24xx/mach-mini2440.c b/arch/arm/mach-s3c24xx/mach-mini2440.c index a83db46..d8273da 100644 --- a/arch/arm/mach-s3c24xx/mach-mini2440.c +++ b/arch/arm/mach-s3c24xx/mach-mini2440.c @@ -519,6 +519,7 @@ static struct platform_device *mini2440_devices[] __initdata = { &s3c_device_iis, &uda1340_codec, &mini2440_audio, + &s3c_device_timer[0], }; static void __init mini2440_map_io(void) $ make menuconfig + CONFIG_DEBUG_LL + CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK (otherwise no output on the serial line) $ make uImage Then booting this image on my Mini2440: [...] booting kernel of type uimage from /dev/ram0.kernel Verifying Checksum ...
