In recent upstream kernels, exynos5420-based arndale boards have been producing boot-time errors due to the fact they failed to set the cpu voltage. These message flood the serial console even after userspace has been loaded, yielding the console unusable without forcing a lower log level. These errors are produced _only_ with the multi_v7_defconfig and they are _not_ present with exynos_defconfig. Here are some recent boot logs showing the boot errors: mainline/v3.18-rc4-65-g2c54396: multi_v7_defconfig: http://storage.armcloud.us/kernel-ci/mainline/v3.18-rc4-65-g2c54396/arm-multi_v7_defconfig/boot-exynos5250-arndale.html exynos_defconfig: http://storage.armcloud.us/kernel-ci/mainline/v3.18-rc4-65-g2c54396/arm-exynos_defconfig/boot-exynos5250-arndale.html next/next-20141113: multi_v7_defconfig: http://storage.armcloud.us/kernel-ci/next/next-20141113/arm-multi_v7_defconfig/boot-exynos5250-arndale.html exynos_defconfig: http://storage.armcloud.us/kernel-ci/next/next-20141113/arm-exynos_defconfig/boot-exynos5250-arndale.html arm-soc/v3.18-rc4-185-gbfcf8f9: multi_v7_defconfig: http://storage.armcloud.us/kernel-ci/arm-soc/v3.18-rc4-185-gbfcf8f9/arm-multi_v7_defconfig/boot-exynos5250-arndale.html exynos_defconfig: http://storage.armcloud.us/kernel-ci/arm-soc/v3.18-rc4-185-gbfcf8f9/arm-exynos_defconfig/boot-exynos5250-arndale.html Cheers, -- Tyler Baker Tech Lead, LAVA Linaro.org | Open source software for ARM SoCs Follow Linaro: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Linaro http://twitter.com/#!/linaroorg - http://www.linaro.org/linaro-blog -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-samsung-soc" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
